A documentary following Roger Federer’s retirement from tennis is set to premiere Monday at the Tribeca Festival, offering an intimate look at his final days as a professional player.

Ahead of the premiere, the minds behind the film, director Asif Kapadia and producer Joe Sabia, joined “Mornings On 1” to delve into the making of the documentary.

Reflecting on the process, Sabia described the endeavor as "an opportunity of a lifetime” and his initial encounter with Federer in 2019 during an interview for Vogue's "73 questions" series.

“Three years later, I had the opportunity to walk into that office and meet Roger’s agent, Tony. And he said if we were to film something, what should we do? Should we film and document the retirement from tennis? And I said, ‘no brainer,’” he said.

He said they then pitched an “effortless” documentary to fit Federer’s lifestyle as he prepared to retire, and initially made the film so that it could serve as a home movie for the tennis star.

“Just two cameras, go to Switzerland, document it as flies on the wall and watch as the action unfolds. We've pitched it as something that if he didn't like what he saw, then it doesn't have to see the light of day, could just be a home video,” Sabia said.
