Asif Kapadia and Joe Sabia on co-directing Roger Federer's final 12 days before his retirement.
No stranger to sports documentaries (“Senna,” “Diego Maradona”), Kapadia was fascinated by the idea of someone whose career ends when they’re in their 40s and “they’re trying to figure out, ‘What do I do in my life?’ I found that quite powerful and emotional.

John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver are all featured within the 12 days, as well as current players Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal.
