Richard Gasquet, Fabio Fognini, Fernando Verdasco, Pedro Cachín... the list of ATP "classics" in the last decade who have announced their retirement in this 2025 is quite extensive, and, to top it off, has added a new name in the last hours. It is none other than Ricardas Berankis, the best Lithuanian racket in history and who once reached #50 in the world. "Ricka" announced the end of the road on social media, leaving two ATP finals, 15 Challenger titles, and facing matches against Murray or Nadal along the way.

We have one more year to enjoy Sorana Cirstea. A professional since the 2006 season, the Romanian announced a few hours ago that 2026 will be her last active calendar year, a wise decision after two decades on the circuit where she clinched three individual titles and nearly reached the top 20 on more than one occasion. The Romanian will turn 36 in April, so she will likely start having other plans off the courts. We wish her the best in this final adventure, hopefully, she can make the most of her retirement and leave satisfied with her performance when December comes.

At 38 years old and after experiencing all kinds of events, the end is starting to come for Sara Errani. A constant presence on the WTA circuit for the past two decades, the Italian continues to show her love for tennis at every tournament, but the defeat suffered today at the WTA Rome 2025 against Naomi Osaka turned out to be the launching pad for the most significant announcement: she will retire from singles at the upcoming Roland Garros. However, Sara announced that she will now focus her efforts on doubles, where she promises to keep fighting. A finalist at Roland Garros, with nine WTA titles... not a bad place to call it a day, indeed.

The Last Challenge left us with memories to cherish. We knew it would be an emotional day, filled with an incredible affectionate feeling, and it did not disappoint. Juan Martín del Potro danced for the last time on a tennis court, moving us as always with his last forehands, wielding the hammer of Thor, as many affectionately called him, and sharing the stage with Novak Djokovic who always ensured the spotlight was on the Argentine. Delpo won the exhibition match, but the result was secondary: the Argentine and the Serbian shed tears at the net and embraced in a moment that is already circling the globe. Thank you, Juan Martín.

2024 has been marked by retirements. It has been a year of farewells, tributes... and also of returns after motherhood and second chances, especially in the women's circuit, with names like Naomi Osaka or Caroline Wozniacki. This was the case of Elena Vesnina, who returned to the circuit after becoming a mother to compete in the Olympic Games and several more tournaments, although without much success. However, the Russian has now announced her professional farewell in an emotional post on social media. We bid farewell to the former champion of Indian Wells and one of the best doubles players of this century, a category in which she achieved the gold medal in Rio and three other Grand Slams.
