Roger Federer may have retired from the ATP Tour, but the Swiss maestro’s smooth serve still provokes admiration and a bit of playful criticism. On Monday, Federer posted a video to Instagram showing off his iconic serve move, which looked as elegant as ever on the court. But a well-known rival wasn’t about to upset him so easily.
Enter Andy Murray.
Never one to miss an opportunity for a friendly joke, the Scot dropped into the comments with a cheeky joke: “If you could have disguised your throw better you would have been a player.”

The comment, dripping with Murray’s classic dry humor, immediately drew laughter and a flood of reactions from fans. While the two legends have faced off 25 times on Tour, with Federer leading the Scot 14-11 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series, it is clear that even in retirement, the sarcasm scoreboard could well tilt in Murray’s favour.
Federer has been here, there and everywhere over the past month. The former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP rankings was present as usual at the Laver Cup, which was co-founded by Federer and his management company. He then attended the Rolex Shanghai Masters, where he watched Valentin Vacherot win the title.
