DEVELOPING: Roger Federer announced Thursday that he is retiring from professional tennis at age 41 after winning 20 Grand Slam titles.
Combined, the exits by two of the greatest athletes in their sport’s history represent a significant turning of the page.
But he had appeared at an event marking the 100-year anniversary of Centre Court at the All England Club this July and said he hoped to come back to play there “one more time.” Federer is married, and he and his wife, Mirka — a tennis player, too; they met as athletes at an Olympics — have two sets of twins.
Federer would go on to blow way past that, ending up with 20 by winning eight championships at Wimbledon, six at the Australian Open, five at the U.S. Open and one at the French Open. His 2009 trophy at Roland Garros allowed Federer to complete a career Grand Slam.
