AMERICAN Jack Sock will retire from tennis after the US Open, the former world No. 8 said on Sunday (Monday in Manila).
Sock, 30, has won four ATP singles titles and 17 tour-level doubles trophies, with the most notable crowns being the 2017 ATP Masters 1000 title in Paris, as well as men’s doubles titles at Wimbledon in 2014 and 2018 and the 2018 US Open.
He also won a mixed doubles gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics as well as a bronze in the men’s doubles.
Sock is teaming up with John Isner at Flushing Meadows, with the big-serving American also set to retire after the conclusion of the year’s final Grand Slam.
“To the eight-year-old boy who immediately fell in love with the sport of tennis. I hope I made you proud,” Sock said in a post on Instagram. “It’s been 14 years of memories I will never forget. — Reuters
