Federer farewell letter:

Among all the gifts given to me in the past years, the best is undoubtedly the one I met along the way: my friends, my competitors, and the most important fans. Essence

Today, I want to share some news with you.

As many of you know, in the past three years, I have encountered challenges of injury and surgery. I have been working hard to return to a complete competitive state. But I also know the ability and limit of my body. The information it gives me recently is very clear.

I am 41 years old. In 24 years, I have played more than 1,500 games. Tennis's generosity over my imagination. And now, I must realize when to end my competitive career.

The Lavol Cup will be my last ATP event next week. Of course, I will play more tennis in the future, but not in the Grand Slam or tour.

This is a half -bit decision, because I will miss everything that the tour gives me. But at the same time, there are many things worth celebrating. I think I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. I have been given a special talent for playing tennis, and I have reached the level I have never imagined, and time is much longer than I imagined.

I would like to thank my amazing wife Mirka, and she spent every minute with me. She warm up before the final, watched countless games in more than 8 months of pregnancy, and endured my stupid side for more than 20 years. I also want to thank my four excellent children to support me. They are always eager to explore new places and create beautiful memories along the way. Seeing my family cheering on the stands is a feeling that I will cherish forever.

I also want to thank my loving parents and my dear sister. Without them, everything will be impossible. Thank you very much for all my former coaches. They always guide me in the right direction ... You are great! And Swiss tennis, they believe that my young player gave me an ideal beginning.

I really want to thank my excellent team, Ivan, Dani, Roland, especially Seve and Pierre. They gave me the best suggestions and have been with me. And Tony, he has managed my affairs for more than 17 years. You are too incredible, I love you every minute.

Thanks to my loyal sponsors, they are my real partners. And team worked hard in the ATP event dealers. They always welcome everyone with friendship and enthusiasm.

Fair competition, passion and strength, I always try my best to respect the history of the event. I am very grateful, we pushed together to bring the tennis to a new level.

The most important thing is that I must thank the incredible fans. You never know how much strength and mind you gave me. Entering the people full of people, the kind of bloody drumming is one of the most exciting feelings in my life. Without you, these success will be very lonely and no longer full of joy and vitality.

The tournament of the past 24 years is incredible adventure. Although sometimes it feels like 24 hours, it feels deep and wonderful, it seems to have spent a lifetime. I am fortunate to show myself in front of audiences in more than 40 different countries. I have experienced joy and tears. The most important thing is that I feel that I am still alive.

Through the tour, I met many outstanding people. They became friends of my life. I looked at my game in my busy schedule and cheered for me around the world. Thank you!

When I started to love tennis, I was a caddy in my hometown of Basel. I used to watch the players with surprise in the past. They are like giants to me, and I start to dream. My dream made me work harder, and I started to believe in myself. Successfully brought me confidence, I set foot on the most amazing journey to today.

Therefore, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and thank the world for helping a young Swiss caddy realize everyone who dreams of dreams.

Finally, for tennis: I love you, never leave you.

Roger Federer
