In our latest edition of our retirement series, we list six tennis players who officially retired from the sport. October saw a few veterans finally caving in to time, but also injuries and doping suspensions driving players to early retirement.
The 2025 Rolex Paris Masters will mark the end of an era. French veteran Nicolas Mahut, one of the most accomplished doubles players of his generation, will play the final match of his professional career at his home tournament in Paris.
Justine Henin has strongly criticized Daniil Medvedev following his behavior during a dramatic first-round loss at the 2025 US Open. The former world No 1 fell in five sets to France’s Benjamin Bonzi, with the match filled with controversy and heated exchanges.
Dramatic scenes overshadowed Benjamin Bonzi's five set victory against Daniil Medvedev, with a camerman wandering onto the court right as the Frenchman was on the verge of winning.
Nicolas Mahut referred to the 'decline of doubles' that the category has suffered, being watched less and less, to the detriment of a central focus on singles.
Novak Djokovic's 2025 season will be special for many reasons, and he might make it even more special with his 25th Grand Slam title. Although the Serbian legend managed to preserve his body in an incredible way thanks to his diet and approach to his schedule, even he can't beat the time, as his age dangerously nears 40.
Will tennis fans get emotional during Novak Djokovic‘s retirement? Though there’s no doubt of this, French player Nicolas Mahut is of the opinion that there may and may not be the same emotion that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer evoked following their retirement announcement.
