Michael Russell retires after a career that lasted 17 years.
The former world no.60 wasn’t playing since April when le lost in the Sarasota Challenger 1st round.
Why he retired
Michael commented “I’ve been traveling for 35-plus weeks for the last 20 years. I just want to not have to travel so much. We bought a new house last year and really like Houston, so I want to be able to not travel so many weeks out of the year.
I’ll still stay in tennis. I like helping people, working with people. I’ve been talking with the USTA, possibly working with the Federation and an academy in Houston as well. Working with high-level juniors and current ATP pros.”
Good luck!
