‘He made the game look so easy’: Roger Federer to retire
The Swiss champion, who won 20 Grand Slam singles titles, said injuries and surgeries had taken their toll on his body. His final competitive matches will be next week in London.
Roger Federer, the racquet-throwing Swiss teenager who matured into one of the world’s most polished athletes and was part of a generation that dominated tennis for two decades, announced on Thursday (Friday AEST) that he would retire from competition.
“I am 41 years old, I have played more than 1500 matches over 24 years,” Federer said in an audio clip posted on social media.
