Zurich, September 15: Roger Federer on Thursday (September 15) announced his retirement from tennis, stating that next week's Laver Cup in London will be his farewell tournament.

Now 41, Federer wrote in a statement on social media: “As many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and surgeries.

“I've worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body's capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear.

“I have played more than 1,500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt, and now I must recognise when it is time to end my competitive career.
