Wimbledon: Jérémy Chardy will retire after the tournament

Knee operated in 2022, Jérémy Chardy only played five games in 2023, for a single victory in the 1st round of the Australian Open against Galan. The 36-year-old Frenchman, now Messin coach Ugo Humbert, told France Info that his match against Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon on Tuesday will probably be the last of his singles career. “It’s a special week for me. Playing against him, here, at home, in London where I live… This is my last singles tournament. It started a bit here, I won in juniors, I didn’t play Roland to try to prepare for here. I have my whole family coming, I’m playing against the world No. 1 on one of the most beautiful courts… It will be a great end no matter what. After the difficult period that happened to me, I did not want to stop outside the court. I went into fight mode to try to come back and try to play again. It’s not perfect. There are more days when it’s hard than days when I’m having fun. I will try to give my all. I wanted to end here. »
