Ya, we know you must be shocked and must have missed a heartbeat after reading this news, but hey, don't get disheartened because we'll still get to see this hunk on our TV sets. Roger Federer, one of the most dedicated and awesome looking tennis players, is reportedly set to quit tennis for his new found passion for the sport of golf. It seems that this year's Wimbledon will be the last tournament of his tennis career.

It's a known fact that Tiger Woods, the famous golf player, and Federer are very good friends. Tiger Woods has confirmed the news (though we haven't yet heard from the horse's mouth) and said that he will make the announcement soon but for now he's concentrating on his game.

Some might say that Roger Federer is retiring from tennis because he is threatened by the likes of younger players like Nadal. But we know Federer is a true champion and for now he's leaving tennis only because he feels golf is true calling.
