Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe will play doubles against Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on Friday
The pair, along with Nadal, will be bidding adieu to one of the fiercest competitors in tennis history. Since turning pro in 1998, the 41-year-old has earned the third-most Grand Slam titles among men’s players in tennis history, only behind Novak Djokovic and the Spaniard . He has won 103 singles titles, including eight Wimbledon wins, and also has one gold medal from the 2008 Olympics and one silver from the ’12 Games.
In recent years, the Swiss has struggled with injuries and underwent multiple knee surgeries. He last won a Grand Slam at the Australian Open in 2018 and did not appear in a single Grand Slam tournament in ’22. In his retirement announcement, Federer noted it is his time to say goodbye to the sport he’s known all his life. . “Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt, and now I must recognize when it is time to end my competitive career.”More Tennis Coverage:
