The legendary tennis star announced retirement from the sport
last year after struggling with fitness concerns for a long time.
He ended his illustrious career at the highest level with 20
Grand Slam titles to his name.

the men’s singles category in the Open era. He was also the first to win 20

won the title eight times —in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2017.
He holds the record for the most Wimbledon titles won as well.
His last Grand Slam victory came in 2018 in the Australian
Open where he defeated Croatia’s Marin Cilic in the final with a score of 6–2,
6–7(5–7), 6–3, 3–6, 6–1.
