Henners' last tourny was 2007 Davis Cup tie v Croatia, which he helped win.
Safin took a set off Del Potro in Paris '09, just a couple of months after he had won USO.
Edberg reached Paris QF in 1996.
36 year old Wayne Arthurs reached 3rd in Wimbledon in 2007, and he had to qualify, so he won 5 matches before losing to Bjorkman in round3.
In the first round he was two sets and a break down(6-7 6-7 2-4), before he came back. in the 2nd round he has beaton world nr7. Tommy Robredo
Let's compare how other players did in their final events.
2000 - In his last ever event, 4 time Slam champ Jim Courier loses in the 2nd round to Thomas Enqvist in Tennis Masters Series Miami. His last slam performance was a 1st round exit Nicolas Escude in 4 sets at the 2000 Australian Open.
2003 - In his last ever event, the former French Open champ Michael Chang loses in the first round of the 2003 US Open to Fernando Gonzalez in 4 sets.
2004 - the 2001 Wimbledon champ, Goran Ivanisevic's last tournamet was the 2004 Wimbledon where he loses in the 3rd round to Lleyton Hewitt in straight sets.
2003 - Former Wimbledon winner Richard Krajicek goes down in the first round in Ordina Open in Hertogenbosch, Netherlands to Oliver Mutis.
2006 - The Scud, Mark Phillipousis goes down in the 2nd round of a challenger in Hawaii to Brendan Evans and his last Slam performance was a straight sets exit to Rafa Nadal at the 2006 US Open. I would say his ending was pretty dismal.
2001 - One of the better endings for a career was Patrick Rafter's. At least he made he ended his career on a high. His last match was a Davis Cup clinching match against Sebastien Grosjean in the 2006 Davis Cup finals. His slam performance was a 4th round showing and bowing out to Pistol Pete Sampras at the 2001 US Open.
