.rogerfederer has announced his retirement from tennis—bidding a warm and emotional farewell. Here, Anna Wintour—who has been friends with Federer for years—pays tribute to an extraordinary champion:

Like many people, I first became aware of Roger when he was a long-haired youth making waves in Houston at the 2003 Tennis Masters Cup. You could tell he was special. There was that incredible speed. There was the unreal work close to the net. And there was the way he made it all look devastatingly easy. But there was also, just as importantly, a kindness and a grace—one might even say a dignity—in the way he carried himself on the court and off.
