With Tour-level tennis reaching its conclusion this month, it also marked the end of the tennis careers for nine players. In this installment of our retirement series, we list nine players who officially bid farewell to the sport in November.
Indian tennis icon Rohan Bopanna retired after a 22-year playing career. He won 26 Tour-level doubles titles, none more important than his one and only Grand Slam in men’s doubles at the 2024 Australian Open, which helped him become the oldest man to reach the World No. 1 ranking at 43. Bopanna played his final match at the Paris Masters with Alexander Bublik, and the pair lost in the first round. He earned over $7 million in prize money in his career.
Pedro Cachin was the second ATP player to retire in November. The 30-year-old Argentine played his last competitive match at the Lyon Challenger in early June. He is a six-time champion at the Challenger level. Cachin peaked at a career-high ranking of No. 48 and won his only ATP Tour title in Gstaad two seasons ago. He may have won just one Tour-level title, but Cachin will keep a souvenir of a lifetime in his trophy cabinet after one of his tennis idols, Rafael Nadal, gifted him his shirt at the end of their match at the 2024 Madrid Open. Cachin earned $2.1 million in prize money.
Another veteran also exited the tennis stage. 35-year-old Marius Copil confirmed his retirement after two excruciating years of injury struggles. He played five doubles matches this year but none in singles. Copil wrote an emotional post on Instagram where he described “living 99% of my dream” for reaching the ATP’s Top 100 and his biggest Tour-level final at the 2018 Swiss Indoors as a qualifier (lost to Roger Federer). He earned $2.7 million in his career.
