retirement

No wishful thinking. Please share just your own realistic prediction as accurate as possible. Voting closes on 2023/01/31.

He's a player who has always been around the top 100 for at least 20 years. The Italian Tennis Federation in their wisdom decided not to give him a wildcard to play at Naples or Florence despite being a long standing member of their Davis Cup team. He could be described as a Journeyman but...

We know the "end" of your career (Christ I make it sound like death) can come at any time especially when you're out there on tour in your mid to late 30s with over 20 years of mileage on the clock. What seasons do you predict Nadal and Djokovic to retire in? I think Nadal for the next couple...

To get off the beaten track of the traditional Q&A, L'Equipe proposed a game to him: a series of statements that he is free to approve or not before commenting on them. If you hadn't met Mirka, you wouldn't have won 20 Grand Slam titles. Phew... yes, I think so. She was so supportive, pushing...

Federer's announcement of his retirement from profesional tennis yesterday is a gauntlet thrown down for the older of the Williams sisters, who is a year older than Fed. Venus has been uncompetitive for several years, repeatedly losing in the 1st rounds. If she were to focus on doubles, it would...

Andre had a solid 2005, finished in the top 10 once again surely he could have maintained a top 10 position during 2006 if he remained fit and motivated? Was he always going to retire in 2006 or was the back issue the reason? I think he could have stayed on, even with his pains he was still...

Which tennis player would you like to have as Roger's opponent in his last match of his career? Who do you think should send Roger into retirement? Should it be Djokovic or Nadal, one of the two greatest Fed rivals? Anyone from Next Gen or Thiem? Or anyone but Zverev? You have two votes in the...

Martin Klizan has informed officials that he will end his career after the Wimbledon Championships, according to information published by the Slovakian Tennis Federation. The 31-year-old has told the tournament direction of a Challenge event in his home country that his upcoming appearance...

Possibly the last match for the Gladiator David Ferrer, who will again play Zverev for a 3rd and last time in 2019. Sascha leads 4-3 the H2H, but lost the last match in Miami 2019. We'll see how healthy is Ferru after today's match against long time friend Roberto Bautista. Match is on Manolo...

Just saw this: Really loved Ferrer's tenacity and work ethic. Was in a slump since he switched to Babs and then back to his Wilson - and couldn't break the big guys even in his prime because of lack of weapons, but still, very endearing. I will miss him on tour...

Select an option for each. I'm guessing Fed 39, Nadal 39+ and Djokovic 34-37. I think Fed will be play out all of next year and consider calling it quits at the US Open 2019. Ideally he would pull a Sampras and call it a career going out on top but I have a hard time imagining him being...

I suspect that once Fed, Nadal and Djokovic decide to retire there's a good chance they will decide to continue playing in the Champions tour or maybe just play exhibitions amongst themselves. Given how weak and boring most of the players that follow them are wouldn't many prefer to see a 45...

Chronic injuries, mental weariness, lack of motivation, advanced age, the reasons for retirement are numerous, so who among Federer, Murray, Nadal and Djokovic will be the first to call it a career ?

Benneteau's tweet at the beginning of this week 'Last practice session before my last Bercy...'. Understandably, the Frenchman has decided to retire at some point next year and is making his final appearance at Paris Masters. Benneteau is putting in an inspired performance this week and the...
