David Nalbandian announced his retirement from tennis on Tuesday afternoon. Nalbandian, 31, reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 in the world and he finished runner-up to Lleyton Hewitt at Wimbledon in 2002.
Plagued by injuries throughout his career, the Argentine last played at the Sony Open in Miami. He led Jarkko Nieminen 6-2, 3-0 with a double-break in the second set before losing that first-round encounter in three sets.
Nalbandian is scheduled to play an exhibition match with Rafael Nadal on November 23 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
