Career titles

Federer 103 titles are the 2nd most in the open, not of all time. Please, correct it in the opening paragraph. 138.99.112.54 (talk) 15:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done It says ATP titles, not simply titles. 103 ATP titles is the second most all-time. Players who won more were before the ATP was formed. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:38, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2022 section of history should include a mention of his retirement announcement via twitter. src https://twitter.com/rogerfederer/status/1570402045085253632 Inzikind (talk) 14:00, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

exact edit text to add should be "On September 15th Federer announced via twitter that he will retire following the Laver Cup ATP event." [cited tweet]

This should go immediately after the previous mention of the Laver cup in first paragraph Inzikind (talk) 14:08, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that he is retiring from the ATP Tour and Grand Slam tournaments. That leaves open exhibitions, Laver Cups, Hopman Cups, etc... Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Roger is still a professional tennis player. He’s playing in the Laver Cup right now. 73.11.13.188 (talk) 21:48, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

Article says "Federer did not play after Wimbledon 2021", but then later that he played in the 2022 Laver Cup. 2A00:23C8:7B09:FA01:5C62:257E:F843:3380 (talk) 21:01, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
