Belgian David Goffin has announced that this 2026 will be his last year as a professional. After the knee injury he suffered last year, he has decided to put an end to his career at just 35 years old. Goffin, who has tried to play in a couple of Challenger tournaments this year without achieving any victories, commented on this on his Instagram. "All these years have taken a toll on my body. The knee injury has played a fundamental role in this decision. I have given everything for tennis, and this sport has given me more than I could imagine, which is why this decision is so difficult," he explained.
