It's always sad news when we have to say goodbye to a tennis player, but it's the reality that no athlete can escape. This time it was Dan Evans who issued a statement announcing his retirement as a professional, although he will have the fortune to do it on the court.

At 36 years old, the Brit is currently outside the top 200 in the world, a critical situation that has led him to reconsider his future. This week we saw him start the grass court season, his favorite, but he was unable to advance through the qualifiers at the Ilkley Challenger. A sign that his time has passed.

“After an incredible journey, I wanted to share some personal news with all of you. I will retire from professional tennis after the upcoming Wimbledon,” Evans wrote in his statement, leaving behind a twenty-season journey that saw him rise to World No. 21 and capture two individual titles.

“This sport has given me everything. The friendships, the experiences, the battles, and even the tough days were all special in retrospect. I have loved every minute of being a professional tennis player. To my parents, my wife, and my family, thank you for your unwavering support through every up and down. None of this would have been possible without your support,” added the player from Birmingham.

Dan Evans' Greatest Pride as a Professional

Among all the things this sport offered the English player, there is one that marked him forever. One that left such a mark on his soul that he needed to express it in this farewell message.

“Representing Great Britain in both the Davis Cup and the Olympic Games remains the greatest honor of my career and something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I am looking forward to finishing with a high note in these last two tournaments and giving it my all for one last time. Thank you for your support,” the man who is already counting the weeks and days to enjoy his final great performance wrote emotionally.
