Serena welcomes Federer to retirement: 'Always looked up to you'

Serena Williams welcomed Roger Federer to the tennis “retirement club” on Thursday, saying she has always admired and looked up to the Swiss legend.

“I wanted to find the perfect way to say this, as you so eloquently put this game to rest -- perfectly done, just like your career,” Williams said in an Instagram post.
