Generally recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all time, Federer won 20 Grand Slam titles in his career and held the top spot in the tennis ATP list for 237 weeks between 2004 and 2008.
Barely 20 years ago, Federer, who broke into tennis’ brightest elite, had a merciless struggle over the years with the Spanish Rafael Nadal with the kingship of the species. Later, he completed the three large coplas Novak Djokovic.
The masterful ruler of his last Grand Slam reached his one-handed knuckle at the Australian Open tournament in 2018. Federer, who is very popular among his fans, says that the decision to quit was made due to health concerns experienced in recent years.
– As many of you know, I have had three challenges in the last year in the form of injuries and surgeries. I have been working hard to get into my best racing condition. At the same time, I also know the capacity and limitations of my body, and its message to me has been clear, he states in his message.
– This is a bittersweet decision because I will miss everything I got from the Tour. But there is so much to celebrate. I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world. I was given a special gift to play tennis and I did it at a level I could never have dreamed of and for much longer than I could ever imagine.
Federer and his wife Mirka have four children together.
