Name him Dr. Roger.
Roger Federer delivered a considerate and humorous graduation speech at Dartmouth School over the weekend when he formally obtained an honorary doctorate.

The previous world No. 1 shared his experiences and life classes as a champion and the way he’s tailored to life after retirement.
“I did graduate not too long ago. I graduated tennis,” Federer mentioned. “I do know the phrase is”retire. Roger Federer retired from tennis. Retired. The phrase is terrible. You wouldn’t say retired from school, proper? Sounds horrible.
“Such as you, I’ve completed one large factor and I’m transferring on to the subsequent. Such as you, I’m determining what that’s. Graduates, I really feel your ache. I do know what it’s like when individuals preserve asking what your plan is for the remainder of your life. They ask me: ‘Now that you’re not an expert tennis participant, what do you do?’ I don’t know. And it’s okay to not know.”
Editors Observe • That is an superior speech and honor. So lots of our followers are asking “Why was RF at Dartmouth?” Easy. His agent Tony Godsick’s alma mater and his daughter with mama Mary Joe Fernandez, Isabella was graduating. The Federer household loved one other school campus.
