How do you say retire in Russian? Youzhny looks 43 instead of 33, so slow.

 

[Hawaiigrip]

Why retire now? Youzhny still collecting R1 paychecks... Umag now, then Gstaad, Kitzbuhel, Rogers Cup (qualifying), I imagine he'll get in the qualifying in Cincinnati Masters too, then US Open, some weaker asian tournaments, Moscow, St Petersburg with wild cards... Davydenko's road

Colonel should retire by the end of this season.
This is embarassing, humiliating and makes no sense to continue on this level for a player who could challenge in his heyday even Nadal on HC.

He'll finish much lower by this rate than Nikolay when his ATP career will end.

Gotta know when it's time to call it quits.

Youzhny is a good draw

Завязывай с теннисом, завершай карьеру. Many variations

 

[philosophicalarf]

Ahhh, Austrian vs Russian, miracle turnaround at max possible live odds. Same old Umag.

 

[Batemans]

He will retire anyway when he drops out of Top-200 at the end of the season.

He once told Eurosport he wanted to beat Federer first before he retires

Youzhny really needs to call it a career. He's only embarrassing himself out on the court at this point. :facepalm:

 

[JMdelpotro6]

Youzhny should have retired ages ago. It's getting embarrassing now. Shame he's struggled so much recently. I'd imagine him to announce retirement at Moscow.

I recently learnt on MTF that a tennis player reaches his peak at 33yo. so I really don't understand what's happening to Youzhny

you really think this game was fishy? hm

 

[ProdigyEng]

Time to switch to doubles Colonel

 

[Secondeuce]

I guess it's too late for that now. In this kind of form it's doubtful he'll ever have a match with him again. Oh well, he was once upon a time a great player.

 

[Rychu]

Colonel is still in the top 100. Incredible. He's been sucking for over a year now.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

:rolls: Trinker in the 2R of an ATP event. Anything can happen.

Shanghai Masters saves him and was close to reach the top 20 at that time again. Ah, forgot to mention that he was last year to the day #19 :lol:

 

[Chris Kuerten]

Youzhny is in the top 100 since January 2001, it has been a spectacular ride.
