No Regrets: Tennis great Nestor at peace with decision to retire in September
Canadian tennis veteran Daniel Nestor has no regrets about his decision to retire later this season.
The 45-year-old from Toronto, who announced his retirement plans last year, has struggled in his final campaign on the ATP World Tour. Early exits have become the norm for the former top-ranked men’s doubles player, who’s planning to leave the competitive game in September.
“The main thing is my body is just not allowing me to play at the highest levels anymore,” Nestor said. “So that makes the decision much easier.”
Nestor, who turned pro in 1991, has won an incredible 91 titles on tour and had 10 different stints as a world No. 1. The 2000 Olympic men’s doubles champ has earned US$12.8 million in career prize money and won a whopping 1,062 doubles matches.
