He said: ‘I certainly will not and do not deserve to have such a farewell.
“Roger earned that night and it was super special to have all those guys on the side of the track.
“I would probably announce when I’m going to play my last event, but I don’t know when that will be. I still play competitive tennis and I feel good physically against top players.’
