Ancic retires from ATP


The ATP World Tour retirement has been decided by Ancic.

Ancic tennis career was full of injury and illness, he will now turn his focus to a career in law. He called it quits after 10 years.

"It was one of the toughest decisions I ever had to make," Ancic said. "I'm only 26, but my body said I would not be able to continue on a high level."

"I was advised to either undergo surgery or go through a conservative method, but I had no guarantee with either option."

Ancic captured three titles and reached a career-high No. 7 in the world in 2006. His best-ever Grand Slam showing was a trip into the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2004.
