Roger Federer, de 41 años, ha anunciado su retirada del tenis profesional mediante un comunicado publicado este jueves en su cuenta oficial de Twitter.
“Como muchos de ustedes saben, los últimos tres años se me han presentado desafíos en forma de lesiones y cirugías”, reza el texto. “He trabajado duro para volver a la forma competitiva completa. Pero también conozco las capacidades y los límites de mi cuerpo, y su mensaje para mí últimamente ha sido claro”, añade.
— Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) September 15, 2022
En este sentido, señala que es consciente de su edad y de que en los últimos 24 años ha jugado más de 1.500 partidos. Asimismo, asegura que el tenis le ha tratado con más generosidad de lo que nunca hubiera soñado, pero ahora debe reconocer que es el momento de terminar su carrera competitiva.
“La Copa Laver la próxima semana en Londres será mi último evento ATP”, continúa Federer. “Jugaré más al tenis en el futuro, por supuesto, pero no en Grand Slams o de gira”, agrega, detallando que se trata de una “decisión agridulce”.
‘El Reloj Suizo’, apodo con el que se conoce al deportista por su nacionalidad, sostiene que se considera una de las personas más afortunadas de la Tierra porque nació con un talento especial para jugar al tenis y lo hizo a un nivel que nunca hubiera imaginado, durante mucho más tiempo del que jamás hubiera creído posible.
Por otro lado, dio las gracias a su esposa Mirka, a sus hijos, a sus padres y a su hermana por el apoyo incondicional que le han brindado a lo largo de todos estos años. También extendió su agradecimiento a sus entrenadores, patrocinadores, rivales y seguidores.
“Finalmente, al juego del tenis: te amo y nunca te dejaré”, concluye el comunicado Federer, que con 20 torneos de Grand Slam en su palmarés es considerado uno de los mejores jugadores de toda la historia de este deporte.

Trinbago Knight Riders ended their three-game losing streak and reignited their Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) campaign with an exciting win against the Guyana Amazon Warriors.
The Amazon Warriors won the toss and opted to field first and they produced a disciplined performance with the ball that kept the Knight Riders in check throughout.
Led by Tabraiz Shamsi’s 4/36, wickets were taken at regular intervals to ensure that no batter ever felt comfortable at the crease as the Knight Riders reached 150/8.
Needing 151 to win the Amazon Warriors got off to the worst possible start losing Paul Sterling for a duck and three wickets in total in the power play.
Shimron Hetmyer and Colin Ingram briefly threatened to take the game away from the Knight Riders but when Andre Russell removed Hetmyer the collapse began and the remaining Amazon Warriors batters fell for just 26 runs.
Earlier on the Knight Riders had constructed their best total of the Hero CPL campaign courtesy of a well-compiled 42 from Colin Munro. Overcoming the early loss of Tion Webster and Nicholas Pooran, Munro combined with Tim Siefert to compile a 51-run partnership that set a foundation for some late-order risk-taking.
Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard and Ravi Rampaul hit a combined five sixes to help the Knight Riders set a total of 150 runs that always appeared as if it would be tricky to chase.
This proved to be the case in the Amazon Warrior reply. No batter was able to face more than 20 deliveries despite reaching 81/4 in the 10th over. The Amazon Warriors lost their remaining six wickets for 43 runs to succumb to a heavy defeat.
The returning Akeal Hosein proved to be crucial in the Knight Riders’ bowling attack taking 3/36 and he was ably supported by the parsimonious Andre Russell (3/16) and Sunil Narine (2/9).

Two minutes of silence will be observed across the United Kingdom at the end of Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday giving the public across the nation a chance to pay their respects to the late monarch.
Buckingham Palace released details Thursday of the state funeral and a ceremony at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor ahead of her private interment later Monday.
After the state funeral, attended by some 2,000 guests, including visiting heads of state and other dignitaries, the late queen’s coffin will be transported through the historic heart of London on a horse-drawn gun carriage before being driven by the state hearse to Windsor, where the queen will be interred alongside her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last year.

Roger Federer is retiring from professional tennis at age 41 after a series of knee operations, closing a career in which he won 20 Grand Slam titles, finished five seasons ranked No. 1 and helped create a golden era of men’s tennis with rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Federer posted what he called a “bittersweet decision” via social media on Thursday, less than a week after 23-time major champion Serena Williams played what is expected to the last match of her career.
Combined, the exits by two of the greatest athletes in their sport’s history represent a significant turning of the page.
“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,” Federer wrote on Twitter. “But I also know my body’s capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear.”
Federer has not competed since Wimbledon in July 2021, and so, in that sense, his news is not all that surprising.
But he had appeared at an event marking the 100-year anniversary of Centre Court at the All England Club this July and said he hoped to come back to play there “one more time.”
He also had said he would return to tournament action in his home country at the Swiss Indoors in October.
In Thursday’s announcement, Federer said his farewell event will be the Laver Cup in London next week. That is a team event run by his management company.
Federer is married and he and his wife, Mirka — a tennis player, too; they met as athletes at an Olympics — have two sets of twins.
He leaves with a total of 103 tour-level titles on his substantial resume and 1,251 wins in singles matches, both second only to Jimmy Connors in the Open era, which began in 1968. Federer’s records include being the oldest No. 1 in ATP rankings history — he returned to the top spot at 36 in 2018 — and most consecutive weeks there (his total weeks mark was eclipsed by Djokovic).
When Federer won his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003, the men’s record for most was held by Pete Sampras, who had won his 14th at the U.S. Open the year before in what turned out to be the last match of the American’s career.
Federer would go on to blow way past that, ending up with 20 by winning eight championships at Wimbledon, six at the Australian Open, five at the U.S. Open and one at the French Open. His 2009 trophy at Roland Garros allowed Federer to complete a career Grand Slam.
His serving, forehand, footwork and attacking style will all be remembered. Also unforgettable were his matches against younger rivals Nadal, 36, and Djokovic, 35, who both equalled, then surpassed, Federer’s Slam total and are still winning titles at the sport’s four biggest tournaments.
Nadal now leads the count with 22, one ahead of Djokovic.
“I was lucky enough to play so many epic matches that I will never forget,” Federer said in Thursday’s announcement.
Addressing his “competitors on the court” — although not by name — he wrote: “We pushed each other, and together we took tennis to new levels.”
Federer’s last match anywhere came on July 7, 2021, when he lost at Centre Court in the Wimbledon quarterfinals to Hubert Hurkacz 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-0.
Soon after, Federer had surgery to repair damage to his meniscus and cartilage in his right knee — his third operation on that knee in a span of 1 1/2 years.
“Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt,” Federer said Thursday, “and now I must recognize when it is time to end my competitive career.”

A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for Saba, St Eustatius, St Maarten, Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat and Anguilla as Tropical Storm Fiona approaches the territories.
TS Fiona, which is the sixth named storm of the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season, is located 875 kilometres east of the Leeward Islands. The storm is packing winds that are near 50 mph (85 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 km to the east of TS Fiona’s centre of circulation.
The US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) has forecast that there will be little change in Fiona’s strength over the next few days.

On the forecast track, the centre of Fiona is expected to move through the Leeward Islands late Friday and Friday night, and move near the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico this weekend.
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible across portions of the northern Leeward Islands by Friday night, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect.
RAINFALL: Fiona is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches with isolated higher amounts across the northern Leeward Islands, the British and US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and eastern Hispaniola. These rains may produce flash and urban flooding, along with isolated mudslides in areas of higher terrain.
SURF: Swells generated by Fiona are expected to begin affecting the northern Leeward Islands by early Friday. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
