Today I announce that I am ending my career as a professional athlete. After several visits to the doctor and meetings with my medical team, I was informed that I have a herniated lumbar disc.

This does not allow me to continue to train at full speed and compete continuously. Consequently, it is impossible for me to continue at a top level in such a competitive environment.

Tennis has given and taught me a lot and I am very grateful. It was important for me to carry the Estonian flag on the pitches and play in front of my supporters around the world.

I am ready for new challenges after my last attempt as a professional tennis player – I will try to enjoy the game and compete as hard as I can at Wimbledon. Thank you all for your continued support“, he characteristically wrote.

Maria Sakkari responded to the comment, revealing the warm relations that the two athletes have. “Be proud of what you have accomplished. You will forever be my favorite Quarantine Facetime buddy“, He wrote.
