Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, has announced his professional retirement.
After a litany of thank-yous to family, friends, sponsors, and fans, Federer offered a few more reflections on his 24-year career. “When my love of tennis started, I was a ball kid in my hometown of Basel. I used to watch the players with a sense of wonder. They were like giants to me and I began to dream. My dreams led me to work harder and I started to believe in myself. Some success brought me confidence and I was on my way to the most amazing journey that has led to this day.
Federer remained a force on the tour into the 2010s, but knee and back problems seemed to finally present a roadblock around 2016. While the injuries and recovery kept him out of tennis for a bit, he returned in 2017 to win both the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
