Severin Luthi has been a close friend and long-time coach of Roger Federer
Severin Luthi made an emotional post on Instagram to pay tribute to his long-term friend Roger Federer. Federer officially announced retirement last week and it certainly took Luthi quite some time to put across all his feelings. Luthi has always been a pillar of strength for Federer, especially during the last one year when the Swiss maestro was going through really tough times.
Federer and Luthi share a great camaraderie and it was evident in Federer’s farewell speech as well. Roger Federer thanked each and every member of his coaching team, especially Severin Luthi, who he said was “always there for me.” Luthi has been with Federer for a long time and has coached him for 15 years from 2007-2022.
Let us take a look at how fans on social media reacted to Luthi’s emotional tribute to Roger Federer.
“Very beautiful and emotional. A very apt tribute for a legend”, wrote a fan.
“Was not ready for that at all today”, wrote another fan who appears to have got emotional himself after Luthi’s post.
“Severin Luthi talking about Roger Federer and making me cry. Again”, tweeted another fan.
“Some raw emotions are too cold, and some too hot but this one between Severin Luthi and Federer hits you right in the gut”, tweeted another emotional fan.
