One of the winningest and most lucrative careers in sports will come to an end with the retirement of Roger Federer.
Roger is hanging up his tennis racket.
After 20 Grand Slam titles, one of the sport's best players ever, will retire.
As the Swiss national has struggled to stay on the court in recent years due to injuries, he decided to retire.
Tennis has treated me better than I could have imagined. I will never leave you, I love you and will never let you go.
$90.7 million was spent on goods and services. It was $90 million in endorsements that made him the 7th highest-paid athlete in the world. He made more money off the court than any other athlete, blowing past the second most-endorsed athlete, James, who made $80 million in endorsements. It was his lucrative endorsements that made him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world throughout his career.
He spent more than 300 weeks as the world's top ranked player. He has won a record eight times at Wimbledon. David Foster Wallace wrote an essay in the New York Times in 2006 titled, "Roger Federer is one of those rare, preternatural athletes who appear to be exempt, at least in the grand scheme of things." This is a type of person that one could call a genius or a Mutant. He is always on-balance.
Serena Williams played her last tennis match in the U.S. Open on September 2nd.
The highest-paid tennis players are the new generation.
