.rogerfederer has issued a surprising message to Alan Jones as the Australian broadcaster prepares to end his long-running radio career this week.
Jones announced earlier this month he was retiring from his popular 2GB breakfast program for health reasons, saying doctors had warned him: “If you don’t stop, you’ll drop.”
“Alan, it’s Roger here. I wanted to wish you all the very best for what’s to come, and many congratulations on an amazing 35-year career in the media business,” Federer said.Olympic sprint king Usain Bolt also sent Jones an audio message earlier, saying: “I just want to say congratulations on retiring at the top of your game.
Jones’ heavy workload in the media combining his radio, TV and print commitments meant he needed to take a step back from things for his health. “When the program ends at 9:00, it doesn’t end,” he said. “Another world begins. I’ve always taken the view that my listeners are my best researchers. The correspondence is given relevance and strength to the program content but answering it is immensely demanding.
