Roger Federer, arguably the greatest men’s tennis player of all-time, announced that he is retiring from the sport after next week’s Laver Cup in London. The 41-year-old cited the challenges of age and injuries.
The Swiss maestro has won 20 Grand Slam events in his illustrious career.
“Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt, and now I must recognize when it is time to end my competitive career,” Federer said. “The Laver Cup next week in London will be my final ATP event. I will play more tennis in the future, of course, but just not in Grand Slams or on the tour.”
To my tennis family and beyond,
With Love,
