Roger Federer’s swansong from professional tennis received a unique and artistic send-off in 2022. To promote the new documentary Federer: Twelve Final Days, a CGI spectacle unfolded on London’s iconic Tower Bridge and New York’s Times Square.
Projected videos showcased the tennis legend in a match against a younger version of himself, the ball rocketing between the bridge’s towers and the bustling district’s screens. This symbolic exchange represented the passage of time and the culmination of Federer’s illustrious career.
The Amazon Prime documentary, directed by the acclaimed Asif Kapadia and Joe Sabia, revisits the emotional final 12 days of Federer’s tennis journey. Cameras followed him as he prepared for his last tournament, the 2022 Laver Cup. The film offers intimate glimpses into Federer’s thoughts and feelings, along with his interactions with his wife Mirka, their children, and fellow tennis greats like Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray.
The iconic landmarks became canvases for Federer’s story, etching his final farewell with a bang.
