Huge news, but not really surprising. I thought it was going to happen after the Olympics in Paris, so I was a few months off.

Only one of the big 3 left...

Federer, Nadal, Djokovic. What an era we lived through with those three.

Father Time and injuries catch up to another one. Enjoy your retirement, Rafael. Thanks for the amazing memories you provided.

As much as it was expected, Rafa's retirement is still sad.

And Gasquet is retiring after the French Open next year. Gotta figure Stan and Gael aren't far behind.
