Former World No. 3 Milos Raonic of Canada announced his retirement from the ATP Tour on Monday.
The eight-time tournament winner, who turned 35 in December, earned more than $20 million in prize money.
Raonic lost to Britain’s Andy Murray in the 2016 Wimbledon final, the closest he came to a Grand Slam title.
“The time has come, I am retiring from tennis. This is a moment you know will come one day, but somehow you never feel ready for it. This is as ready as I will ever be. Tennis has been my love and obsession for most of my life,” Raonic posted on X.
“I have been the luckiest person to get to live out and fulfill my dreams. I got to show up every day and focus on just getting better, seeing where that will take me, and playing a game I was introduced to at 8 years old by complete luck. Somehow, this became my entire obsession and childhood, and then became my profession and life.”
Raonic’s No. 3 ranking on Nov. 21, 2016 remains the highest ever for a Canadian player.
Raonic last competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, losing in the first round. His most recent tournament championship came at Australia’s Brisbane International in 2016.
