Physical and mental toughness, tight schedule, maximum demand, extreme weather conditions, slow balls, permanent surface changes... All these factors have led to an explosive cocktail resulting in 4.8% of all matches played on the ATP Tour in 2025 ending with a withdrawal from one of the competitors. This marks a historic milestone, setting a record since the establishment of a calendar similar to the current one in 1990. It surpassed the 4.3% seen in 2014, 2009, and 2008.

What has happened to Karolina Pliskova in this 2024 US Open is quite unusual, as evidenced by the fact that it has only occurred four times before during the Open Era. It's hard to recall players retiring from matches in these major events during the first game, as happened to the Czech player. The most recent precedent was from the 2008 Australian Open, when Petkovic left the court against Chakvetadze just minutes after the start.

Gael Monfils has placed himself at the top of a dubious prestigious historical ranking, that of tennis players who have withdrawn the most times. The Frenchman has done so 33 times, with 23 retirements during matches and 10 before taking to the court. He is tied on the list with Tommy Haas.
