American tennis player John Isner announced on Wednesday that this year’s U.S. Open will be his final tennis tournament before he retires.
“There comes a time in every athletes’ career that they have to decide to hang it up, for me, that time is now,” Isner wrote in a post on Instagram. “I didn’t come at this decision lightly, but I feel it is the right way to go.
“The U.S. Open will be my last tournament, and I can’t think of a better way to go out than competing in New York City. I have participated in the U.S. Open for each of the 17 years of my career and I’m looking forward to playing my last match in front of the American fans in Flushing Meadows.”
