Serena Williams, the owner of 23 Grand Slam titles in singles after the US Open, ended her playing career, and now she turned to her colleague and friend Roger Federer, whose career is also nearing its end.
Federer announced a few days ago that after the Laver Cup, he will end his playing career in the “white sport”.
-” I was looking for the right way to say this. You said goodbye in a perfect way, as was your career. I always looked up to you and admired you. Our path was similar, almost identical. You inspired millions and millions of people and we will never forget that.” – said Serena and added:
-” I applaud you and can’t wait to support everything you do in the future. Welcome to the pensioners’ club. And thank you for being you – Roger Federer.”
