Tremendous inspiration You are and will always be an idol - Toni Kroos Luka Modric Messi and other top footballers pay tribute to retiring tennis superstar Roger Federer
By Aditya Singh Modified 16 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Footballers pay tribute to Roger Federer (Image credit: Toni Kroos & Pele Instagram) Footballers from across the world have reacted to tennis legend Roger Federer announcing his retirement on Thursday (September 15). The Swiss ace will feature for one final time in the Laver Cup next week before hanging up his boots. Roger Federer is widely regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, tennis players of all time. He won 20 Grand Slams, among numerous other honors. He personified grace and skill on the tennis court during his long and illustrious career. However, the 41-year-old has suffered multiple injuries recently, including a knee injury that has kept him out since Wimbledon 2021. Announcing his retirement on his social media, the Swiss 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 clear. "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's time to end my competitive career. "The Laver Cup next week in London will be my final ATP event. I will play more tennis in the future, of course, but just not in Grand Slams or on the tour." Roger Federer's retirement is a devastating news for all tennis fans, including some of the world's greatest footballers. The longevity and immense quality displayed by the eight-time Wimbledon winner inspired sportspeople across the world. Hence, after Federer announced his retirement, many superstar footballers took to social media to congratulate him for a legendary career.
