[TheSlicer]

After what was being the best season of his career, and failing to show up at 3 doping test requests this year, thus atp giving him an 18 month penalty , he anounces briefly on twitter that he retires from professional tennis at 24.

Plenty of time to come back at 26 if he wants to

It wont. That will always be one less talented stud in the world until he comes back

I think too that he will come back in 18 months.

I think so. A 20 something year old with no other skill than hitting a tennis ball, won't be able make 200K a year. He'll be back

He's a real head case, totally unpredictable. Don't rule him out yet...

Yes and no. He was disqualified because he damaged the chair of the umpire.

That's right. His mood swings paired with lack of results and underachieving, also making some strange statements recently has really caught up with him lately. He might even suffer from bipolar disorder I suspect...

Ymer comes from a very good family, I believe his mother or father is a doctor in Stockholm. Mikael is a bit more reserved and perhaps knowing of his status as a world class tennis player. Elias is more open and quite frankly, liked. I dont know what impact his parents still have, but I would think they’d be quite upset if he quit given all the sacrifices they made over the years.
