Swiss tennis icon¹ Roger Federer announced on Thursday that he will retire from Grand Slams and the ATP Tour after the Laver Cup next week.

瑞士男子网球名将罗杰·费德勒9月15日宣布退役，下周的拉沃尔杯将是他最后一站ATP赛事。此后他将不会再参加大满贯或巡回赛比赛。

 

In a video posted on social media, the 20-time Grand Slam winner said that injuries and surgeries over the past three years have presented him with big challenges.

费德勒在发表在社交媒体的视频中说，在过去的三年里，他经历了伤病和手术的巨大挑战。费德勒曾夺得20座大满贯冠军。

 

"I've worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body's capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear," said the legend, who has not played since Wimbledon last year.

费德勒说：“我努力恢复到最佳竞技状态，但我同样知道自己的身体能力和极限，它最近已经把明确的信息传递给我了。”自去年温网后费德勒再未参加其他比赛。

 

"I am 41 years old. I have played more than 1,500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt," he added.

他补充说：“我已经41岁了。过去24年，我打了超过1500场比赛。网球给予了我太多，超乎了我的想象。”

 

Federer, widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, made his professional debut² in 1998 at 16 years old, before winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003.

After thanking his family, team members and fans, Federer said that retirement⁴ only means he will leave the Grand Slams and the ATP events, but he will "play more tennis in the future."

费德勒感谢了他的家人、团队、和球迷。随后他表示，退役后他将不再参加大满贯和巡回赛，但“将来还会继续打网球”。
