Roger Federer has announced his retirement! The 41-year-old tennis player and former Wimbledon champion will play professionally one last time at the Laver Cup.

Federer —known for winning 20 Grand Slams — took to social media to share with his fans his plans to part ways with the sport. “As many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and surgeries,” the athlete began. “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. I am 41 years old. I have played more than 1500 matches over 24 years,” he noted. “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.”“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,” he added.“This is a bittersweet decision because I will miss everything the tour has given me.
