Take a look at every match point from the 20 Grand Slam titles won by Roger Federer. There is a time and a place for it. The tennis player revealed his decision on social media. Injuries and surgeries have presented me with challenges over the past three years. I've been working hard to get back to my best. My body's capacities and limits have been clear to me recently. My age is 41 years old. Over the course of two decades, I have played more than 1500 games. When it's time to end my competitive career, tennis has treated me more generously than I ever imagined.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion is third all-time among men's players behind only Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
He doesn't want to play in the Grand Slams or on the tour. He had had knee surgery in August and hadn't played a match since reaching the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2021.
At an event marking the 100th anniversary of Centre Court at the All England Club in July, he said he wanted to play there again. He said he would return to tournament play in October.
I will miss everything the tour has given me, that's why I'm leaving. There is a lot to celebrate. I think I'm one of the luckiest people on the planet. I was given a special talent to play tennis and I did it for a long time that I never thought possible.
For the first time in their careers, Roger, Nadal, and Novak will play together in the same tournament. Six of Europe's top players are competing against six from the rest of the world in a three-day team event.
