Roger Federer is in Shanghai, where he will play an exhibition match today. Before that, the Swiss player spoke to the tournament about the so-called 'changing of the guard', as the recent news of Rafa Nadal's retirement is yet another sign that the new generations are making their way through and the great players of recent years are saying goodbye. "You can feel the changing of the guard. Serena Williams and Andy Murray retiring, Rafa getting closer each time. Novak, obviously, having a tough year overall but then winning the Olympics and claiming what he always wanted to achieve, that difficult-to-reach Olympic gold. That was incredible for him. So, yes, you feel that everything is changing and Sinner and Alcaraz each winning two Slams, that shows you that the wave is really coming now. Changes are happening and they are consistent, fantastic to see. Watching Alcaraz live at the Laver Cup in Berlin was impressive. He is a wonderful player, and I think many people are going to have a lot of fun watching him in the future."
