Tennis players must carefully consider their options before deciding to end their career, which may take months or
even years. Retiring is not a decision that tennis players make quickly.
Most tennis retirees have enough warning signs before they hang up their rackets, including age decline, injuries,
and loss of form, among many other things. The five ATP players who might be playing in their final year of
professional careers in 2024 are included in this article.
Sadly, injuries have derailed Kei Nishikori’s ambitions to reach his full potential. The majority of Nishikori’s
volatility has been physical. However, the Japanese celebrity’s ailment list is getting so big that it would fill a grocery
list, and this is wearing him out emotionally and intellectually.
He had a knee injury while competing in an ATP event in Atlanta, which cut short his recovery from a bone-chilling
hip operation that occurred in the middle of the previous season. He hasn’t fully recovered in time to compete in the
Australian Open in 2024. Nishikori wants to get back on the tour as soon as possible in March, but his long-term
prospects are getting worse.
He’s nearing the end of his career, one of the very few surviving members of that French old guard. Even though Gael
Monfils has said that his drive is still pure, he has already said that 2024 will probably be his last year on the road.
Injuries over the last 18 months have slowed down Monfils, and time is running out for the 12-time ATP titlist, who
turns 38 in September and who once considered “responsibility” as a rewarding habit after becoming a father.
