Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt," he added.费德勒写道：“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 debut in 1998 at 16 years old, before winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003.1998年，16岁的费德勒完成了他的职业生涯首秀。2003年，费德勒在温网赢得个人首个大满贯冠军奖杯。人们将他视作历史上最伟大的网球运动员之一。In 2009, he took his 15th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, surpassing his idol Pete Sampras to become the most decorated major title winner until 2022.
