NALBANDIAN RETIRES AFTER 13 YEARS
http://ppt.cc/gIVj
Argentina’s David Nalbandian today announced his retirement from
professional tennis after 13 years on the ATP World Tour. He amassed 11
titles and reached a career-high World No. 3 in 2006. He finished in the
year-end Top 10 of the Emirates ATP Rankings five times.
Nalbandian cited a shoulder injury as the cause of his decision. "I can play
matches, but my shoulder won't let me continue my career," he shared with the
media in Buenos Aires. "I can't play like that at a [professional] level.
"It's tough because I have to announce my retirement from the sport that gave
me so much. I'm very grateful."
Nalbandian beat Roger Federer in a fifth-set tie-break to hoist the Tennis
Masters Cup trophy in 2005.
In 2007, he captured back-to-back ATP World Tour Masters 1000 trophies in
Madrid and Paris. Nalbandian defeated both Federer and Rafael Nadal at each
event en route to the title.
Nalbandian played the final of Wimbledon in 2002 (l. to Hewitt). He also
reached the semi-finals of the 2006 Australian Open, 2002 Roland Garros and
the 2003 US Open.
The 31 year old also represented Argentina in three Davis Cup teams that
reached the final, in 2004, 2008, 2011, which he considered one of his best
memories. "It's the event that I felt was different from the others," he
reminisced. "The pressure, the support of the people. It's something unique.
It's a shame [Argentina] couldn't win it, but it's the way it was."
Nalbandian reached his last final at the Brasil Open in Sao Paulo earlier
this year, losing to Nadal in the Spaniard's second tournament back to the
ATP World Tour after an injury layoff.
After announcing his retirement from the ATP World Tour at a media
conference, Nalbandian took to Twitter to say that he would play a series of
farewell exhibition matches with Nadal beginning 21 November. "It's a long
way to those matches," said Nalbandian. "I'm still in rehab from my injuries
and I need to keep training."
