Roger Federer is retiring: Fresh off Serena Williams's departure from tennis, her peer on the men's tour is retiring. Federer leaves with 20 majors--now good for second on the all-time list--and a legacy as a beloved and graceful star, both on and off the court.
Federer was the tennis player's favorite tennis player. Other pros in the ATP and WTA were amazed at what he could do.
I'll miss his unnaturally fast feet and the presence of a Roger atop a sport.

I can't tell if rcade means Roger Penske or Roger Maris.

One of the most unflappable people I've ever seen on the court. Having Serena and him at the same time was a real gift.

I don't mean Roger Goodell.

Craig Morton? Clint Longley? Danny White?

I don't think it's yet written in stone that Serena has retired.
