When did Roger Federer retire?
Roger Federer, 42, announced his intention to retire from tennis in September 2022.
“As many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and surgeries,” the athlete said in a video shared to Instagram.
“I’ve worked hard to return to full and competitive form. But I also know my body’s capacities and limits and its message to me lately has been clear.
“I am 41 years old. I’ve played more than 1,500 matches over 24 years.”
He added that he considered himself “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.”
Now that he’s retired, however, the tennis player gets to spend more time with his wife and kids.
How many kids does Roger Federer have?
Roger Federer has four children with his wife Mirka, who is also a former tennis player.
The athletes share two sets of identical twins: daughters named Charlene and Myla, and boys named Leo and Lenny.
Ahead of retiring, Roger spoke to Today about his decision to bring his kids with him as he travelled around playing tennis.
“Oh, it was the only way,” he said. “Never would I go on the road without my kids.
“I’d rather retire [than travel without them]. Then I would’ve had to retire 10 years ago.”
