Tennis icon Roger Federer announced his retirement from tennis on Thursday, saying that the next week`s Laver Cup will be his final ATP tournament. The 41-year-old winner of 20 Grand Slam titles has been out of action since a quarter-final loss at Wimbledon in 2021 before undergoing another bout of knee surgery.
In a statement released on his official Twitter account, Federer wrote, " As many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and surgeries. 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 dear."
