This new-found anxiety-cum-stress of Federer is something contrary to his calm and composed image. This is all courtesy of the upcoming documentary on the final 12 days of his career.

The documentary will be directed by Academy and Grammy Award winner Asif Kapadia, who has previously led projects like ‘Amy’, ‘Senna’, and ‘Diego Maradona’. It will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

From the trailer itself, the series promises to hit big on people’s screens. It shows a very emotional and vulnerable Federer, who coped with the fact that his 24-year-long illustrious career came to an end. A glimpse of a teary-eyed Rafael Nadal also briefly appeared in the trailer.
