Personally, an excellent career, and a player that I believe overachieved. I know, he had a huge serve but, with that movement, once the serve was returned, he was on the defensive.
Not a player I will miss, but I did not mind him.

Is this procedural or strategic? He's 24, so he's likely to "un-retire." If he officially retires, per the ATP's rules if there are any on this, will he have to serve his suspension before un-retiring? This seems like a strategy, not a real retirement.

He's got a lot of issues including anger management, something my daughter saw up close and personal during US Open Qualies two or three years ago.

Maybe it's best he take this strategic step back. Like you said he can "unretire" in two or three years.

Never knew that about Ymer or your daughter. I hope she wasn't in harm's way.

It was during a match and the usual bad call happened. She and one other woman were close to where the players sit during the changeovers and I guess the best way to describe it is he erupted, the kind of explosive anger that made she and the other woman, a stranger go into fight or flight mode. She still gets wide eyed when she talks about it.

Wow.That's intense. I don't know why I'm surprised.

I know we were discussing Alex Michelsen, and his future in college tennis during Newport, but I don't think I saw anything confirming that he has gone pro, and will forgo his college eligibility.

I was mostly interested when he played Karlovic.

I thought he had retired already.
I am sort of ambivalent about hit. He had a big game, but I don't know if he achieved more, less or just about right of what he could.

It is now reasonably accepted that all these languages arose from the same root..called the Indo-European..
