'An unbelievable career' - Ronnie O'Sullivan pays tribute to retiring Roger Federer at Laver Cup

Ronnie O'Sullivan has paid tribute to the retiring Roger Federer, thanking the 20-time Grand Slam singles champion for giving «the world so many magic moments».

Ad To go along with his achievements at the majors, the Swiss star won 103 ATP singles titles and two Olympic medals, spending 310 weeks as world No.1.
