Former Top 40 singles player Ryan Harrison announced his retirement from tennis on social media.
The 31-year-old Harrison, who has been dealing with injuries and health issues, made the announcement on Tuesday. Harrison underwent surgery at the end of 2019 to heal a torn right extensor tendon but has not recovered since then.
“With the New Year kicking off it starts a new chapter in my life,” Harrison said. “After a long battle with health issues over the last few years, the time has come for me to put an end to my playing career.”

Harrison, who reached a career high No. 40 singles ranking, won one ATP singles title in Memphis in 2017. That was the same year he won the Roland Garros men’s doubles title with Michael Venus.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the moments I had on court,” Harrison said. “Representing the USA in both Davis Cup and the Olympics in singles and doubles will always be some of the proudest moments of my life. ”
