Former World No. 6 Gilles Simon announced on social media Saturday that he will retire at the end of the season.
“It was a magical, wonderful and extraordinary adventure,” Simon wrote on social media. “It will stop at the end of the year. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made it possible. There is no sadness, no regret. Just the will to put everything I have left. On every game, until the end.”
Ce fut une aventure magique, merveilleuse et extraordinaire. Elle s’arrêtera à la fin de l’année. Un énorme MERCI à tous ceux qui l’ont rendue possible.

Il n’y a aucune tristesse, aucun regret. Juste la volonté de mettre tout ce qu’il me reste. Sur chaque match, jusqu’à la fin.
The Frenchman made his singles debut on the ATP Tour in Metz in October 2004 and has since captured 14 tour-level titles. The 37-year-old also reached two ATP Masters 1000 finals in Madrid (2008) and Shanghai (2014), reaching a career-high No. 6 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings.
Simon is currently on 498 tour-level wins and will be aiming to become just the 11th active player to reach the 500-victory landmark between now and the end of the year.
