Roger Federer opens up on retirement to GQ: He doesn't miss pro tennis, but hitting a forehand is 'like riding a bike'

Dwayne Wade played his final NBA game on Wednesday when the Miami Heat took on the Brooklyn Nets in New York. The 37-year-old played most of his 16-year career for the Heat, winning three NBA championships.

Fellow NBA stars LeBron James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony were at Wade's final game, and a few tennis players paid their respects to the all-time great on social media.

Sloane Stephens was moved by the special video Budweiser made for Wade:

This is beautifully done and so deserved. Not gonna lie I cried a lil when his mom came on 😭 https://t.co/scysHXVBNh

Wade has been interwoven with tennis many times, and happens to be the same age as Roger Federer.

Wade would play for five more years following the hangout session with the Swiss.

In his final home game on Tuesday night, he scored 30 points and in Wednesday's 112-94 loss to the Nets he put down 25 points.
