'Laver Cup...Will Be My Final ATP Event', Says Roger

BASEL, Sep 15: Roger Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam singles champion, on Thursday announced his retirement from top-level tennis, saying that next week's Laver cup will be his final ATP final tour-level event. The 41-year-old has not played since Wimbledon 2021, after which he had a third knee operation. "Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt and now I must recognise when it's time to end my competitive career. The Laver Cup next week in London will be my final ATP event. I will play more tennis in the future, of course, but just not in Grand Slams or on the Tour," the tennis great said in a statement on Twitter. IANS
