Here is the translation of Marco’s open letter to Roger: 20: "Since yesterday, this number in men's tennis represents a new record of victories in Grand Slam tournaments and once again it was you, dear Roger, to write this new chapter in the history of tennis. It is very significant that you have reached this goal exactly in the same place where you reached the summit of world ranking, 14 years ago, thanks to your first Australian Open. In the four hours that have passed from your entry to your exit from the Rod Laver Arena, the spectators have been able to understand, once again, why you are the greatest champion that tennis has known. You have shown for a long time your incredible repertoire, which is the most complete and incomparable there can be in our sport. In the middle of the match, you have shown your enormous fighting spirit and your incredible gift of finding a way out in difficult and dangerous situations. At the end of the awards ceremony, you let yourself go to the emotion and you did not even try to hide how much you love tennis and how important this victory is to you. In this moment of triumph, you have found, as always, the right and respectful words towards the organizers, the fans and for the defeated opponent. These qualities make you a gentleman and this is also why you are considered by all a great champion. If tennis enthusiasts can still feel these emotions today, it is thanks to your love for tennis, your incredible playing skills that allowed a fantastic comeback match in January 2017. I want to be honest: two years ago you worked on your knee, almost no one expected you to win a Slam tournament. It would have been easy to retire at age 34 with 17 Grand Slam titles. You did not do it, you accepted this hard stop and you accepted the challenge of returning to high levels. As a friend, I appreciate your honesty, your loyalty, your modesty, you've always remained the same, even if you've had incredible successes. As a tennis enthusiast, I am grateful to you and thank you for having found the strength to come back and for having shown that a great athlete can always improve and dominate his sport. Together with millions of fans, I wish you that the number 20 this summer, after Wimbledon, is already a memory
