Tennis
The first of the "big three" in men's tennis is hanging up his racket. Yesterday, Roger Federer, 41, announced his retirement on social media. The last few years of his career were plagued with injuries and surgeries. The 20-time Grand Slam champion, who spent a record 237 consecutive weeks as the world No. 1, will play one last tennis event next weekend at the Laver Cup. Federer joins Serena Williams as one of the greatest in the sport to retire. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
*The big three in tennis are Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
