Viktor Troicki is ready to call it a (great) career. The former world no.12 has been struggling with his body and his results and therefore he confirmed that he will call it a career after Wimbledon.
Viktor is currently playing at the Queen’s Club where he released the following statement during the press conference:
“Yes, I have decided I’m done. I had a struggle over the years whether I should play or, you know, if I continue, but since I was not moving much, not getting back to top 100, and I had issues with my body, couple injuries, different injuries and being 35 already, I think, yeah, I had enough.”
The current situation on tour made the last push for Viktor who commented:
“I have decided that’s enough, and my family is at home. Unfortunately, they cannot travel since it’s tough to travel these days due to quarantine and bubbles and everything. I really don’t enjoy it.
Being apart from my family, not seeing my kids grow up, yeah, it’s a wise decision I think at this moment. Definitely, it’s emotional. It’s been my whole life playing tennis. I achieved many things in my career and lived my dream, let’s say. And I might miss it, but I think, yeah, I made a wise decision.”
Troicki won 4 singles titles in his career and he was the runner-up on 6 occasions (details). His most prestigious achievement was probably winning the Davis Cup for Serbia back in 2010 when he won the decisive 5th match against Michael Llodra.
Viktor is and he will remain the Davis Cup captain.
