On May 3, local time, tennis star Kevin Anderson posted on social media, announcing that he would officially bid farewell to professional tennis. The 35-year-old South African tennis player, who was once ranked No. 5 in the world, has won 2 Grand Slam runners-up and 7 Tour titles.
Anderson posted on social media that he made a difficult decision today to retire from professional tennis. Anderson thanked everyone who helped him along the way and helped a South African kid achieve his tennis dream. I thanked my parents, brothers and family for their silent dedication and support.
Anderson reached the finals of the Tour 20 times in his career, winning seven of them. The highest-level title of his career was won in Vienna in 2018, when Anderson defeated Kei Nishikori in the final to win the title. With the exception of the Vienna 500, Anderson's remaining six titles were won at at THEP 250.
Anderson's biggest achievement at the Grand Slam is runner-up, in the 2017 US Open and 2018 Wimbledon, he has reached the final twice, including in the 2018 Wimbledon he eliminated the opponent Federer in the promotion process. Two Grand Slam final trips and Anderson have sadly lost, losing to Nadal and Djokovic respectively.
Since winning The Newport race last year, Anderson has won just four of his 16 games, including 5 races this year and only 1. The increase in age has led to a significant decline in Anderson Athletics, which is an important reason for his decision to retire.
Anderson's career tour record is 354 wins and 253 losses, with a winning percentage of nearly 60%. Anderson, whose total career prize money is $17.72 million, has been at No. 5 in and out of The Highest World Rankings after finishing runners-up at Wimbledon in 2018.
