Roger Federer to retire after Laver Cup in September

[Roger Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam singles champion,
will retire from top-level tennis after the
Laver Cup in London later this month.

Wimbledon 2021, after which he had
a third knee operation.]

That's a shame.

I always thought that he'd retire after playing another Wimbledon tournament.

Same .. my favourite of all time !

Apparently due to the pain he hadn’t been able to train properly for over 2 YEARS !

Yet still managed to do well last Wimbledon even with a leg injury

He'll always be a legend for the Sport imo (I honestly hope that this doesn't age badly) but he achieved so much in the Sport despite the fact that Grass Court Tennis is the least common Court in modern Tennis.

And I agree with you that he did well last Wimbledon considering his injury.

I actually never knew that he was self taught, that is impressive.

He’s a unique guy from what I read ..

Whatever he does he does well .. even negotiated all his own contracts and sponsorship deals

Just one of those gifted individuals
