The tennis world said farewell to several stellar names in recent years as they announced their retirement. While Maria Sharapova called time on her tennis career back in 2020, the likes of Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Juan Martin del Potro said their goodbyes in 2022.
A recent tweet by the US Open’s official Twitter handle asked fans about their opinion on which player should make a comeback. The winner, according to the fans’ opinions, was none other than the Swiss maestro Roger Federer. However, there were a few votes for some of the other names as well.
