It's a shame that he was undersized and also battled health issues as well as injuries. But, what a phenomenal talent - so creative.

Yes.
One of Andy Murray's special skills on top spin 4 is called ''poisoned slices.'' I thought it would be a good name. I think somebody else on the game has that skill but it was all about Murray.

I though players reach their peak at 34 or even later, so how can Dolgopolov dare to retire at 32 ? He could have had better results starting from now on

Did not know he had that illness. Read it and it sounds pretty bad, Wikipedia said the disease would sometimes require intravenous treatment after long travel which is not ideal for a sport requiring so much travel

Very unique player if that makes sense, really liked having him around on the Tour. I'll always remember the 16-14 tiebreak he and Novak had at the US Open a decade ago.
Shame that fatigue causing syndrome he has prevented him from possibly achieving more and sticking around for longer. Happy retirement to Dolgo.

AO 2011, IW 2014 and Cincy 2015 were his best tournaments. Such A great talent.

I hated playing him on expert. He would just spam crosscourt angles until he wrong footed you. Had to camp way over to one side to cover the crosscourt play whenever I played himYes.

Seriously one of the most entertaining players to watch of the last decade or so. His matches at Wimbledon with Dimitrov and particularly Karlovic were about as good as anything you’ll see on grass in this day and age, and his first set against Novak at the US Open in I want to say 2011 or 12 was bad ASS culminating in one of the best breakers I ever saw.

The (offensive)slice goat.
This one particulary hurts. I've been checking his IG for the last 2 years expecting a date for his comeback...

When I had an outside court ground pass at Wimbledon, for a period he was one of the first players whose name I looked out for on the OOP and wanted to make sure that I was able to watch. I was delighted to see him live on several occasions.
A lot of fun to watch with his style, and I wish him well in the future.

I will greatly miss those slices. Definitely one of the most unorthodox players on the tour.

He's been out of the radar for a while. Didn't realize he was still playing. Good luck to him for his future endeavors.

One of the most entertaining matches I’ve seen in person was when the ‘Dog’ took out Nadal at Indian Wells mostly hitting leaping BHs crosscourt to Nadal’s FH on a slow hard court. Both the crowd and Nadal could not believe he was gettting outhit in FH rallies to a righty BH.

7 to 2 in favor of Nadal and of those two defeats, the Ukrainian needed three sets to do the unthinkable.
