As a golden tennis era transitions into its next guise, when, how, and why to retire is one of the biggest questions in the sport.

In a recent interview with DAZN Sport, the 22-time major champion was asked to push the conversation further and compare the rivalries between him, Federer and Djokovic to the new rivalries being made between young players in tennis—like the battles between Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Jannik Sinner of Italy.

In an interview with Eurosport France (of which he is a technical commentator - ed.), Nicolas Mahut talked about Roger Federer's farewell and the announced retirement of Rafael Nadal, who will play his last event at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga at the end of November.
