Tennis legend and former world number one player Roger Federer recently announced that he will hang up his boots with Laver Cup 2022 being his last professional outing. The 41-year-old has not played competitive tennis since Wimbledon 2021 owing to injuries. After he made the announcement to retire from the professional circuit, fans and players alike eagerly waiting for his final appearance on the tennis court during the Laver Cup.
The tennis great, who made his professional debut aged 16 in 1998, has struggled with a knee problem for the past three years that have restricted him to only three of the 11 Grand Slams staged since the start of 2020. He has not played a competitive match since losing to Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last summer.
Federer is the winner of 20 Grand Slams including six Australian Open, one French Open, eight Wimbledon, and five US Open titles. He is considered one of the greatest men's tennis players of all time in the sport.
