The world greatest tennis player, Roger Federer has announced his retirement “Laver cup next month will be my final ATP tour event. I will not play any more Grand Slams or in the tour” Roger Federer
“I have worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body’s capacity and limit. I am 41 years old and have played more than 1500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me generously more than I ever would have dreamt and I must recognise when I have to end my competitive career. I will play more tennis, of course, but not in Grand Slams and in tour. It’s a bitter-sweet decision,” he said.
For so much of that career, Federer seemed as if he would go down as the all-time men’s leader for Grand Slam titles. He rounded past his idol Pete Sampras with his 15th major championship in 2009 and topped the list until 2022. But by then, his career had become inextricably linked to the other members of tennis’s Big Three, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
