Kyle Edmund, the Briton who won two ATP Tour titles and reached a career-high No. 14 in the PIF ATP Rankings, announced his retirement on Monday.
Edmund has struggled with injury since reaching his top ranking in 2018. He underwent surgeries in November 2020, March 2021 and May 2022.

“To look at the journey and try and bite size it as much as possible is hard. It just felt right with things and my injuries in the past,” Edmund said. “Especially around 2020, 2021, I had three surgeries and I spent four or five years trying to come back and had ups and downs along the way.
“But [I] never [was] fully able to get back to maybe my goal and my target. That was the main reason for the decision, but over the next weeks and months, it’ll be a nice time to reflect, do different things, spend more time at home with family and just sort of appreciate the journey.”
Edmund won his first ATP Tour title in 2018 at Antwerp, then added another trophy to his collection two years later in New York (an ATP 250 that is now an ATP 500 in Dallas).
The 30-year-old notably advanced to the semi-finals of the Australian Open in 2018. During that run, he upset then-World No. 12 Kevin Anderson in the first round and World No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov, fresh off his Nitto ATP Finals triumph, in the quarter-finals.
Edmund completed his career with 119 tour-level wins, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, including two victories against Top-10 opponents. He most recently competed in singles this June at an ATP Challenger Tour event in Nottingham, where he reached the final.
