The Swiss-born player, who has been injured for several months, announced his retirement last September. The tennis player who won 20 Grand Slam titles in his career made the announcement in a statement posted on Twitter. “Next week’s Laver Cup in London will be my last ATP tournament. I will still play tennis in the future, of course, but no longer at Grand Slams or on the circuit,” he wrote. “I have worked hard to get back in shape. But I also know my body’s capabilities and limitations. an incredible adventure. »
The last match of the world star was marked above all by the complicity with his great rival, the Spaniard Rafaël Nadal, with whom he played his last match played in doubles in London. Despite the defeat of the two accomplices, the emotion was present on the bench around the field where we saw the players shed tears, a symbol of the end of an era.
