Filip Krajinovic ends his professional career: "You will always be in my heart"

The time has come for Filip Krajinovic to hang up the racket after falling in the qualifying rounds of the US Open. As he had announced, this was to be his last tournament as a professional tennis player before ending his career. He couldn't do it with a victory along the way, but the 32-year-old Serbian bids farewell satisfied after having fulfilled his childhood dream: "To share the court and compete with the best in the history of this sport. Like in any sport, ups and downs are part of the journey. My journey was a turbulent, interesting, and sometimes, for many, including myself, illogical experience. Although I am a bit sad for not having won any ATP tournaments, I am proud of my five finals," he wrote on his social media.

“When I look back and see all that I have achieved and all that tennis has given me, I feel extremely grateful and happy to have walked this path, to have made the best friends and to have lived unforgettable moments. I want to thank my family, all the coaches, and all the sponsors who were with me until the last moment, until the decision to put an end to this beautiful chapter of my life to start something new. With great sadness, I want to announce the end of my professional tennis career. Thank you ATP Tour, thank you tennis, and all the fans who supported me. You will forever be in my heart,” added Krajinovic, who reached number 26 in the world.
