Serena Williams welcomes Roger Federer to retirement club
Fellow living legend Serena Williams, who has said she is ‘evolving away from tennis’ herself, has hailed retiring Roger Federer as an inspiration.
Roger Federer on Thursday announced his retirement from the sport following the upcoming Laver Cup.
Reacting to Federer’s retirement, Serena said; “You inspired countless millions and millions of people – including me – and we will never forget,” said Williams.
Federer, 41, will end a career that featured 20 Grand Slam singles titles after the Laver Cup, which begins in London on 23 September.
“I have always looked up to you and admired you,” said Williams. “I applaud you and look forward to all that you do in the future.”
Williams and Federer played against each other only once on court, facing off in a mixed doubles match at the Hopman Cup in 2019.
