When They Said Goodbye: ATP Players and the Year They Retired

[@Godzillajeff]

I'm 61. My God, the memories, great, from the 70s. Vilas was a stud, Borg amazing, Tanner had an "interesting" life afterward, and Vitas G., sad. And Ashe, well, my racquet was an Arthur Ashe II. and I have lived, blessed with HIV for 34+ years now. And I LOVED playing tennis in my youth. God bless everyone, and be good to all people. JEFF from NYC ❤..

Great Mistake Fernando González is from CHILE 🇨🇱 Other mistake: Is full necesary to include to Nicolas Massu from CHILE 🇨🇱 : Top 10, and Winner of 2 final with 2 Gold Medal in the same Olimpic Game (Greece). Grandes Feña y Nico! Viva Chile! 🇨🇱

[@AlexSantana-b5w]

Fernando González es de Chile, y faltó Nicolás Massú de Chile también, doble medallista olímpico de oro.

[@sanvar]

Muito obrigado, Gustavo Kuerten!

[@infiniteuniverse9528]

Having witnessed several of these goodbyes to the sport, by far Agassi's was the most emotional. I promise you there was not a dry eye in the house...

[@alinelisiabarbosagannam7762]

Patrick Rafter was runner-up in wimb in 2001. He did not retire in 1997, as he says in the video.

[@jontakaki503]

The whole thing was probably generated by AI without any human double check.. I wonder that else it got wrong.

[@bmrhapsody]

Feña González es chileno.. mano de piedra, la mejor derecha del tenis.

[@MattyOyola217]

How did Rafter make to win US Open 98 and reach the Wimbledon Final in 2000 and 2001 if he "retired" in 1997? 😂

[@acelive7]

That's exactly what I had on my mind🤭

Anders Jarryd was a top 5 player. And a Wimbledon semifinalist who also won the year ending way finals in 1986 I believe. I don’t see him. He should have been on list

[@wombat-b3h]

Some interesting pairs going out in the same year: McEnroe & Lendl who had a huge career rivalry both retiring in 1994. Edberg & Wilander the two best swedes of the 80s/90s both retiring in 1996. Becker & Graf the two German greats both retiring in 1999.

Borg se retiro poco despues del open usa 81, quizas fuera ya 1982,pero no 84.Se retiro con 26,no con 28

[@relaxmax6808]

exact 26 years Borg. 11 grand slam at 26 years old.

[@wombat-b3h]

He played some exhibition tornaments here and there in 1982 & 83 but was basically done with the regular tour. I was lucky enough to attend one of them: The Akai Gold Challenge in Sydney in 1982...Borg, Lendl, McEnroe & Gerulaitis...fantastic line-up.

Rafael Nadal…so sad that he had to retire. Thanks for everything Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Two of the greatest players….😢

[@WhoAmI_4386]

Emotional year for me. Federer's retirement began the end of an era. Nadal retired this year. I was a big admirer of Andy too. Really appreciate his consistency almost for a decade before he got injured. Even though he lived his career under the shadows of the Big 3. He is gone as well. Novak will be gone before the end of 2026. And tennis will never be the same again for me.😢😢😢

Thank you very much for recognizing that Guillermo Vilas was N1. He is currently suffering from Alzheimer's. It has been proven that he reached N1 twice, in 1975 and 1977. Let's hope that the ATP recognizes this during his lifetime. Greetings from Argentina

[@Godzillajeff]

I loved him. Along with Goolagong, my favorite players from a great period. Best to Mr. Vilas, I'm sorry to hear about his Alzheimer diagnosis....❤

Кто помнит герулайтиса? А он выигрывал турниры большого шлема? Подача у него была интересная. Ни кого с его пор не видел с. Такой пожасей. Да кажется больше ни кто так не подавал. Мячик подкидыва метра на полтора, не больше. И сразу к сетке. Эдберг был любителем такой игры. Но стефан подкидывал высоко. Но у сетки кого нибудь поймать, хлебом не корми. Беккер, лендл тоже любили к сетке выходить. Нынешние теннистсты забывают эту игру.

[@BrunoMilon-e5z]

Yannick Noah did not retired in 1996. He retired in 1991. After that, he came back for a few matches in 1995 and 1996 just for fun and not seriously, so he does not really count. For example, you wrote down that Borg officially retired in 1984. In his case, you did not take account of his comeback in 1991-1993. I agree with that. So, you must do the same think for Noah. Thank you in advance for your understanding. From Bruno Milon.

[@relaxmax6808]

exactly Yannik Noah was already a commentator for the US Open 92 on French television. He was commenting on the Lendl Edberg Match 1/4 final of the 1992 US Open. It's on youtube...

Es lamentable que algunos tenistas se hayan retirado tan jovenes (antes de los 30 o solo 1 o 2 después de esa edad) y es impresionante los que se acercaron y pasaron los 40 (aunque no sé si desde ese punto habrán solo “sobrevivido” al circuito).
