Soderling finally quits
Print Edition
Sweden’s Robin Soderling announced his retirement on Wednesday, more than four years since his last match.
“I have realized that I will not be fit enough to play tennis at the level I demand of myself,” Soderling, 31, said.
Soderling fell ill with glandular fever in the summer of 2011, but he did not realize the seriousness of his sickness and continued to train, although he struggled physically.
Soderling reached the final of the French Open in both 2009 and 2010, before rising to a career-high fourth in the world rankings in late 2010. His greatest moment was perhaps inflicting on clay court king Rafael Nadal his first ever defeat at the French Open in 2009.
“Although my career as a tennis player is over I still have a bright future ahead of me and my schedule for the next few years is full,” said Soderling, who won 10 titles in his career.
