Fed might be my favorite male tennis player of all time.
Graf my favorite female player.

Sad day. I was hoping he would give 2023 a run before retiring.

I don't believe the knee responded from surgery like he had initially hoped and he figured he no longer had a chance to win majors so why continue....

Have to figure if surgery was as successful as a few years back he would have given the Australian Open a run----which he won as his first tourney back off pretty much the same surgery. Also considering Djoker will in all probability be banned and Nadal likely won't be healthy enough to play...too bad.

class act is a great description - from start to finish. Does anyone have a bad word to say about that guy?

Sad day indeed crude , inevitable day for the tennis world. Time , our greatest resource, doing its thing. Glad he didnt hang around for a ceremonial swam song--that wouldnt be him tho.

One of the greatest ambassador's for sport in my lifetime.

enjoy retirement Roger, just a fuckin' legend
