Ivanisevic to retire at Wimbledon
ZAGREB: Former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic plans to retire at the All England club where he won the only Grand Slam title of his 15 years on the circuit.
"I've been thinking about it for the last two years," the 32-year-old said in the daily Sportske Novosti on Monday. "It's not easy to admit, but time trickles by and one day you have to draw the line and say enough."
Ivanisevic underwent shoulder surgery after he beat Australia's Pat Rafter in the 2001 Wimbledon final, and a series of injuries kept him from making a much-anticipated comeback to his favourite tournament.
"Wimbledon is something else. Two worlds, Wimbledon and the rest," he said.
"It's the biggest for any player. There is no better way to bow out. Hopefully I'll play on centre court and win a few rounds."
Ivanisevic, who has won 22 titles and is three short of 600 tournament victories, has already pulled out of the French Open and will warm up for Wimbledon only at the Queens tournament. — AP
