Roger Federer wasn't initially on board with the idea of a documentary

Roger Federer wasn't too fond of the idea of a full-length documentary initially. However, the video content producer, Joe Sabia, captured a significant amount of Federer's goodbye moment on camera and subsequently proposed a documentary to the 20-time grand slam champion.

The final product, which lasted an hour and a half, convinced Federer to rethink his mind. He said while speaking to GS Sports.

"So then they came and I said, 'Well, you probably want to see before, and then during, and after [the match].' And then Joe [Sabia] told me, 'Hey, I have so much footage and it’s so incredible and it would be such a waste not to share this. Can I just pitch to you a one-hour doc?' And I’m like, 'Okay, well sure, but that’s not the point here. But yeah sure, show me."

Federer later revealed that he 'cried like six times' while watching the feature documentary. He said:

"And it’s super emotional, hard-core to watch. So I watch it with Mirka and Tony and we’re like, Oh, my God, wow. So next thing you know, it’s like we’re doing one and a half hours, last-12-days-of-my-life type thing. I watched a screening the other day, it was hard-core. I cried like six times."

Federer also disclosed in the past that the documentary was shot to be only seen by his friends, family, and team.
