Roger Federer has finally announced his retirement from tennis. At 41 years of age, the Swiss sensation was struggling to find his best form to be competitive again on the ATP Tour. On Thursday, Federer released a long statement on social media thanking also his wife and children as follows:
“I would like to especially thank my amazing wife Mirka, who has lived through every minute with me. She has warmed me up before finals, watched countless matches even while over 8″ months pregnant, and has endured my goofy side on the road with my team for over 20 years.
I also want to thank my four wonderful children for supporting me, always eager to explore new places and creating wonderful memories along the way.”
