Roger Federer after 25 glorious tennis years, having played 1500 matches and virtually winning them all, has bid adieu to grand slams. He announced his retirement from grand slams and said he would continue playing tennis. His last ATP match will the next week’s Laver Cup.

Federer shared this news on twitter on Thursday saying his body had effectively told him to bring the curtain down on a career that yielded 20 Grand Slam singles titles.

The Laver Cup team event in London will also give him a final chance to play competitively as part of the “Big Four”, who dominated tennis over the past two decades.

Rafael Nadal, who holds the record for Grand Slam titles with 22; Novak Djokovic, who has won 21 Grand Slam crowns; and two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray will all play together as part of Team Europe.

Federer paid tribute to them too. “I was lucky enough to play so many epic matches that I will never forget,” he said.

Federer had said back in July he hoped to play one more Wimbledon. He departs with regrets but added that he had lived a life that many would envy.

“This is a bittersweet decision because I will miss everything the tour has given me,” added Federer.

“But, at the same time, there is so much to celebrate.

“I consider myself one of the most fortunate people on Earth.

“I was given a special talent to play tennis and I did it at a level that I never imagined for much longer than I ever thought possible.”
