Four More Tennis Players Confirm Retirement In 2025
Four More Tennis Players Confirm Retirement In 2025

The 2025 tennis season has become a year of goodbyes, with a growing number of players announcing their retirements. From lesser-known names to seasoned veterans, the sport is bidding farewell to a wide spectrum of talent.

1. Yanina Wickmayer2. Caroline Garcia3. Nicolas Mahut4. Gregoire Barrere

In this special retirement series, we spotlight some of the most notable players who have either already stepped away or plan to retire by the end of the season.

1. Yanina Wickmayer

Retirement is just around the corner for WTA veteran Yanina Wickmayer. The former World No. 12 and 2009 US Open semifinalist has revealed that this year’s Wimbledon will mark the final chapter of her professional tennis journey. Now 35, Wickmayer—who boasts six WTA titles—shared the news of her impending farewell in a heartfelt Instagram post.

2. Caroline Garcia

Next on the list is Caroline Garcia, who has announced that the 2025 season will be her last on the professional tour. The 31-year-old shared the news across her social media platforms, confirming that she plans to play just “a few more tournaments” before calling time on her career.

Once hailed by Andy Murray as a future World No. 1, Garcia reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 and captured 11 WTA titles. Her most significant triumph came at the 2022 WTA Finals, where she claimed the biggest title of her career. After battling a series of injuries in recent years, the French star has decided it’s time to step away from the game.

3. Nicolas Mahut

The third name on this farewell list is French doubles icon Nicolas Mahut, who will officially bring his career to a close at the end of the 2025 season. The 43-year-old is expected to play his final tournament either at the US Open or in front of a home crowd at the Paris Masters.

Mahut leaves behind an impressive legacy, with four singles titles and a remarkable 37 doubles titles to his name. A former World No. 1 in doubles, he spent over 30 weeks at the top and completed the rare feat of a career Grand Slam in the discipline.

He’s also etched into tennis history for his role in the longest match ever played—a marathon 11-hour, three-day epic against John Isner at Wimbledon in 2010. Mahut’s grit, sportsmanship, and enduring passion for the game will be remembered long after his final serve.

🔴 Nicolas Mahut annonce sa retraite

À 43 ans, l'ex N°1 mondial et vainqueur de 5 Grand Chelems en double a décidé de raccrocher la raquette pour de bon.

"J’ai pris la décision d’arrêter, à voir à quel moment, le Paris Masters ou l’US Open."

4. Gregoire Barrere

One of the more unexpected retirement announcements this season comes from Gregoire Barrere. The 31-year-old Frenchman played his final Roland Garros last month, bowing out in the first round of qualifying. While he plans to compete in a few more events over the next few months, his days on tour are winding down.

Having slipped outside the Top 300, Barrere candidly told French media that he no longer feels physically capable of making a return to the Top 100, citing a persistent Achilles injury. He also revealed plans to undergo surgery later this year, effectively signaling the end of his professional tennis career.
