‘This is a bittersweet decision’: Roger Federer’s retirement from tennis
Roger Federer, 41, who’s won 20 Grand Slam titles, finished five seasons ranked No. 1 in the world and led a golden era of men’s tennis alongside his rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, has announced that he is retiring from playing tennis professionally.
“I’ve worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body’s capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear,” he said. “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.” And he also thanked his fans, sponsors and competitors for filling his storied career with vitality. “The inspiring feeling of walking into full stadiums and arenas has been one of the huge thrills in my life,” he said. “Without you, those successes would have felt lonely, rather than filled with joy and energy.”
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. I really want to thank and acknowledge my amazing team. Ivan, Dani, Roland, and particularly Neve and Pierre, who have given me the best advice and have always been there for me. Also Tony, for creatively managing my business for over 17 years. You are all incredible and I’ve loved every minute with you.
