Prime Video recently released the trailer to Federer: Twelve Final Days, a sports documentary celebrating the storied career of the legendary tennis star Roger Federer. The Asif Kapadia-directed doc will premiere June 10 at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Federer retired in 22 after 24 years of playing professional tennis. In the trailer, the Swiss athlete struggled to rein in his emotions as he thinks about his retirement. The video was shot in his home, which was never intended for the public to see.

Roger Federer's 12 days to retirement

“I thought until this morning I had emotions in check, but I can feel it coming up,” he said at one point of the documentary, moments before his last tournament match.

Kapadia is best known for documentaries about the late singer Amy Winehouse, 2015's Amy, for which he won an Academy Award for best feature documentary; the legendary Formula One race car driver Ayrton Senna, 2010's Senna; and the 2019 film on soccer icon Diego Maradona.

The trailer also includes interviews from fellow tennis icons Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and John McEnroe. The sports documentary will exclusively premiere on Prime Video starting June 20.

Federer announced his retirement two years ago at 41 years older. He won 20 Grand Slam titles in the last 20 years. Kapadia and his co-director Joe Sabia followed the now-retired tennis star at his last Laver Cup game as a Team Europe member. Even though he lost, his tears weren't about the loss but in farewell to his fellow players and his fans.

The trailer also includes videos from Federer's childhood and his early years as a promising tennis player before he turned professional.

“I used to watch the players with a sense of wonder, they were like giants to me. And I began to dream,” he read into a microphone for the cameras, which also became his official retirement announcement.
