Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean joined his countryman Camille Pin in the retirement road, ending an almost 14 years career on the ATP Tour. He first turned pro in 1996.
Grosjean was schedule to play doubles this week at the French Open but his partner Richard Gasquet had to pull out of the tournament after losing in the singles to Andy Murray.
"I am going to stop playing at the end of the season," he stated. "It is not really my decision, it is my body that has persuaded me it is time to do so."
Grosjean was not schedule to play the singles at the French Open.
"I did not ask for a wild card for the singles tournament because I am not ready physically for a five-set match and I did not want to take the place of a young player," he added.
He has won five singles titles in his career and reached the semifinals of the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon at least once. He never got past the third round of the US Open.
The Frenchman reached a career high No. 4 in world ranking in 2002.
