Currently, the 41-year-old coaches a group of children. Ages 9 to 11, including his daughter, who won more than $16 million in prize money throughout his career. David Ankos seems to have shifted priorities from him to his family, which is what Fernando González is also doing, even though he has never won a major in his career.

He has continued to work with the Chilean Tennis Federation and has been coaching his compatriot Gonzalo Llama, decided to focus more on family in 2017 and has been in a relationship with a retired Argentine hockey player, Luciana Amar, with whom he has two children. . Gonzalez decided to move to Miami with his family in July anyway. I have some players who have decided to change sports after he retired.

Without a doubt, if he had good shoulders, former world number three Nail Bandian could have done more in his career. The Argentine retired in 2013, but dedicated himself to rally racing. He is highlighted. in the Argentine Rally Championship and has even made appearances in the codasaur South American Rally Championship and the World Rally Championship but as with most other tennis players

they

He retired in 2012, but returned briefly in 2017 while playing doubles at the Barcelona Open after which he coached Alexander Zverev, but it was not to be. work, but who does Carlos Alcareth train now?

If

they

were able to rack up six titles last year, there's no telling what the duo could achieve in the near future. Ferrero also owns a tennis academy and a hotel in Spain. The Spanish was one of the best players. Circa 2009-2010, he is now 39 years old and no

where

near his prime, he is still very active on tour and plays well from time to time, although he was recently suspended for two months for making the silly mistake of not renewing his therapeutic use exemption for methylphenidate I. I'm sure he'll be back soon for a Last Dance Vera is one of the most successful players of Roger Federer's

generation

.

He retired in 2019 with 27 singles titles and one appearance in a Grand Slam final. He was recently named Spanish Davis Cup captain for the next three. For years, Fereira has also been director of the Barcelona Open since his retirement and plays a supporting role in his brother's Tennis Academy. It's safe to say he can't let go of the sport, but Mayo is another top 20 player who's had wins over some. of the best players like Nadal Murray, the Ferrer team and the German retired at the US Open in 2018 after 17 years on the tour. Maya lives a quiet life in Austria.

You may not remember Maya, but chances are you remember Robin settling down. as the first player to defeat Rafael Nadal at the French Open, although mononucleosis prematurely ended his high-flying career in 2011. The former top 5 player has not stopped loving the sport after his retirement in 2015, he trained to Elias Hema during a While before captaining the Swedish team to the 2021 Davis Cup final, the Swede currently lives in Stockholm with his family, we also have his compatriots on the list. Johansen reached the semifinals of the US Open in 2004, reaching the top 10 and winning three singles. titles throughout his career, but nagging injuries prevented him from reaching his full potential.

He retired in 2008 after only eight years on tour and, although he returned, he was a shadow of his former self and simply vanished into thin air shortly after his retirement. Consulting coach for the Swedish Tennis Federation since his retirement he has been running several businesses, including one that develops the talent of young tennis players. He was generally another top 10 player who reached the quarterfinals of every Slam and went one step further at the US Open. After his retirement in 2018, he set his sights on coaching. He was hired by Dennis Shapovolov and remains part of his team last year.

He published a book on tennis as a game and profession. Yusney has traveled a lot recently and is one of the most active players of his generation on social media like this next guy only a few people are enjoying his retirement more than the Argentinian the former world number 10 retired in 2017 he jumped to 2020 already He was engaged to his long-term girlfriend last year, they welcomed a baby and got married, he also dedicates part of his time to summer sports, an entertainment initiative that he co-founded and moved to Spain. I have two excellent guys for you, as does Federer.

Roberto began his professional career in 1998 and retired this year. Great career The Spaniard put an end to his career at the Barcelona Open after almost 900 games. The former world number five remains the only player in the history of the Open era to achieve three consecutive comebacks from two sets down and he will not be easily forgotten on tour. A new chapter has arrived for Robredo who welcomed his first child in March 2021. He has said that he will dedicate himself to his family and his daughter but did not rule out the possibility of getting involved in the tennis.

Roberto is also heavily involved in wheelchair tennis running the anti-silvers open one of the greatest late bloomers of all time we thought this guy was never going to retire but it all must come to an end in the middle of the New Year's Buzz announced that he will not be on the tour for the new season 25 years on the tour a top 15 ranking a slam in doubles It has been a remarkable journey for the 41 year old Spaniard let's take a look at the few players who left. Belgium was a top 20 player at her peak and won the French Open in doubles, she first retired in 2013 after about 15 years on the tour, but returned in 2016 and in 2021 to play doubles after retiring in 2013, Malice took on a coaching role and worked with fellow Belgian Kimmer Copper Jones, but the partnership was short-lived. he lived and Melissa admitted that she had rushed into training too quickly because now the 42-year-old seems to have a lot of fun playing doubles.

Sebby retired shortly after Federer did so in October last year. He was the first Italian to win a title on all three surfaces. After a career that lasted almost two decades with winds over Federer Nadal and Warinka in the Italian quarter, today without concrete plans for his retirement, for the moment he stated that being a full-time coach was not part of his plans and that he would be at home in Boulder Colorado while his children continue their education in his prime, no one came close to Korea on clay, unfortunately he ended his nine-year professional career in 2009 at the age of 27.

The following year he began training his younger brother. Federico Corea welcomed his children in 2012 and 2013 after almost nine years of marriage and as of 2016 he was traveling around Argentina administering the government-funded Nuestro Tenis program where he hopes to develop talents in children and teenagers. At the beginning of last year he debuted as the new captain of the Argentine Davis Cup team. Speaking of Davis Cup captains, we also have Giles Muller, the most successful men's tennis player from Luxembourg. Muller's powerful left-handed serve took him just below the top 20. He retired in 2018 with two titles and two quarterfinal appearances at Slams.

After his retirement, he was named captain of Luxembourg's Davis Cup team. . A quick but easy question as to why Manny's retired players become Davis Cup captains. Remember Mahood, the guy who set the record for the longest match in tennis history with John. Eisner competes between these two fantastic combatants. Well, he competed in the Korean Grand Slam in the doubles category in 2019 and became the world number one in doubles a few years before. Where is he now sweating on the court? The Frenchman is still playing at 40 years old. his compatriot talks about him, this video would not be complete without including the best volleyball player on the tour.

The talented Frenchman had a decent singles career, but was much more successful in doubles and won Slams before retiring in 2014. Where is Ladra now? Probably somewhere in France and then us. we have Janko tipsarevic, a former top 10 player who retired in 2019. The Serbian now spends more time being a father, DJing and supporting FC Barcelona and there is Jaco neimanum, who retired in 2015. He is now the captain of the national team Finland's men's team and commentates on Finnish Eurosport. During Grand Slam tournaments, a generation overshadowed by Roger Federer and, to some extent, the other members of the Big Three, many of these players have followed similar paths, turning to their families and pursuing other interests, all remaining active with new roles in tennis in some way their careers.

Roger Federer's greatness in perspective, as he emphatically dominated the best players of his generation and outlasted almost all of them, but where are the stars of the 90s? Just one way to find out.
