Damn autumn pollen spike in London, where everyone suddenly started crying like madeleines as they said goodbye to Roger Federer.
The Swiss moved everyone by bursting into tears after the last match of his career, shared in doubles with Rafael Nadal.
Always very calm and in control, the Spaniard gave way to his sadness and accompanied his rival and friend in his grief.
The image is legendary.
How are we getting over this?

“Roger leaving the circuit is an important part of my life leaving too, because all the times he was next to or in front of me were important moments in my life,” said Rafael Nadal.
If the exit is successful from the point of view of the emotions, the tandem did not manage to come about from the American pair Tiafoe-Sock (defeat 6-4, 6-7, 9-11).
