ROGER FEDERER has called time on his glittering tennis career, which has yielded 20 Grand Slam titles.
The Swiss maestro has retired, with injuries having finally caught up with the 41-year-old.
Federer’s final Grand Slam win was the Australian Open in 2018
The tennis legend wrote: “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 dear. I am 41 years old.
“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.
“I will play more tennis in the future, of course, but just not in Grand Slams or on the tour.”
