Roger Federer retired at the 2022 Laver Cup, and now fans will get to see firsthand what those final days were like for the 20-time Grand Slam champion as Amazon Prime Video is set to release the documentary FEDERER: Twelve Final Days on June 20.

The documentary, directed by Asif Kapadia and Joe Sabia, will include interviews from Federer, his wife Mirka, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

A trailer was released on Tuesday showcasing how Federer allowed a camera crew around him for those 12 final days of his professional career. Fans have already seen the famous scenes of him crying at the Laver Cup alongside friend and competitor Nadal, but now fans will get an inside access look at what was going on for Federer and his family.

The trailer alone brought back many emotions for tennis fans nearly two years after Federer retired from tennis, so fans can only imagine how they will feel once the documentary is released next month.

Check out some of the social media reactions.
