2024 was a year of new beginnings, and bittersweet ends. Andre, Vansh, and Owen discuss the careers of several incredible players who announced their retirement this year, reminiscing of fantastic matches they played, their game styles, and what value they brought to the tennis world.
Rafael Nadal, the eternal Clay GOAT, but so much more.
Garbiñe Muguruza, who did all that a tennis player could dream of, and leaves tennis enjoying full health and a well deserved rest.
Angelique Kerber, an unorthodox player who probably overachieved, and will forever be one of the greatest defenders tennis has ever seen.
Andy Murray, the only one who could possibly challenge the Big 3 consistently, and carved a space where he alone stands in history.
Dominic Thiem, who had his career stolen by injuries, but reach such heights that will leave fans in awe of his on-court aggressive mindset forever.
And dang, what the heck, Andy Murray is already back on the Tour coaching Novak Djokovic. What?
