Heartbreaking: ATP player who beat Taylor Fritz on grass announces his retirement from tennis at the age of just 28…see more
Although Fritz is now beating most players on grass, there was once a time that he lost to a wildcard who has now announced his retirement.
The 2022 grass court summer saw the rise of Dutch player Tim van Rijthoven, who had never won a main ATP Tour match before at 25 years old.
Van Rijthoven, who was ranked at world number 205 at the time, arrived at his home grass court tournament in Hertogenbosch after receiving a wildcard.
After winning his first ever title, Van Rijthoven was rewarded with a wildcard for Wimbledon and took advantage of it by reaching the fourth round in his first main draw appearance in a Grand Slam.
However, things have not gone so smoothly for the Dutchman since then, who has played only 11 matches since the end of the 2022 season due to an elbow injury. “Dear all.
With a heavy heart, I have to share something today that I have been trying to process for a long time: My professional tennis career is forced to end,” announced the 28-year-old.
