Tennis great Roger Federer announces retirement

Tennis great Roger Federer has announced his retirement from the sport, saying next week’s Laver Cup in London will be his final ATP tournament.
“As many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and surgeries. 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 dear. I am 41 years old,” the Swiss, who has won 20 Grand Slam men’s singles titles, said in a statement posted on social media.

Tennis broadcaster Craig Gabriel joins us now live from Hamburg to discuss this.
