"Always Looked Up To You": Serena Williams Welcomes Roger Federer To Retirement
Serena Williams welcomed Roger Federer to the tennis "retirement club" on Thursday, saying she has always admired and looked up to the Swiss legend. Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, said Thursday he would retire after playing next week in London at the Laver Cup. Among those sending congratulations to the 41-year-old icon for his tremendous career was 23-time Grand Slam winner Williams, who said she was "evolving" away from tennis, with last week's US Open expected to be her final tournament.
