Former British number one Kyle Edmund said “my body is telling me it’s finally reached the end point” as he announced his retirement from tennis.
Edmund had a memorable run to the Australian Open semi-finals in 2018 and was as high as 14 in the world rankings.
The 30-year-old is only the second British man after Sir Andy Murray to reach the last four at Melbourne in the Open era.
His later career was hampered by injuries, with Edmund undergoing three knee surgeries in the past five years.
“Looking back I can say I tried my absolute best in my career and my hardest to get back to where I was,” Edmund said.
“The last five years have taken a toll with three surgeries and other injuries such as wrist, ab, hip and foot.
“There are no regrets whatsoever.”
