Roger Federer announced his farewell to tennis with a moving message shared on his instagram account.
He told: “Of all the gifts that tennis has given me in recent years, the greatest is, without a doubt, that of introducing me to people along the way: my friends, my opponents and above all the fans.
Today, I want to share some news with you. As everyone knows, the past three years have been a challenge for me in the form of injuries. I worked hard to get back, but my body sent me clear messages.
Tennis has treated me better than I ever dreamed of, but I have to recognize the moment to end my professional career. The Laver Cup in London next week will be my last ATP tournament. I will no longer participate in Grand Slams or tour tournaments. This was a bittersweet decision to make. ”
