Anna Wintour Raises a Racket to Roger Federer on His Retirement

After two decades at the pinnacle of men's tennis, Roger Federer has announced his retirement from the sport—bidding a warm and emotional farewell on social media. "I have played more than 1500 matches over 24 years," he writes. "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." In a must-see swan song, he'll (hopefully) play doubles again with his longtime rival and friend Rafael Nadal on Friday night.
