Prajnesh Gunneswaran: Indian tennis player Prajnesh Gunneswaran, who once reached a career-high ATP ranking of No. 75, announced his retirement from professional tennis on Friday.

The 35-year-old announced his decision via social media post with a caption, "Hanging up my racquet. Thank you."

"As I write this, my heart swells with gratitude, pride, and a touch of nostalgia. Today, I step off the competitive tennis court for the last time. For over three decades, this game has been my sanctuary, my greatest teacher, and my most faithful companion. From the first swing of my racquet to representing India on the grandest stages, the journey has been nothing short of extraordinary," Prajnesh wrote on Instagram.
