Cachin, Former Top 50 Member, Announces His Retirement
Pedro Cachin, who had not played since his first-round qualifying loss at the Lyon Challenger on June 8, has just announced his retirement.
He had reached his career-high ranking of 48th in August 2023, thanks to his one and only ATP Tour title in Gstaad, where he defeated Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the final.
On his Instagram account, he states: "48th in the world ranking, it seems easy, but it's not. For many, it's just a number, but for me, it represents hours of training, travel, competitions, sweat, and experiences.
It was an UNFORGETTABLE journey, rich in lessons and with a clear goal, which often seemed blurry/distant, but which we ultimately achieved. I say 'we' because tennis is an individual sport that is practiced as a team, with family and the people who invest their time to follow and support you, wherever they are and however they can, to reach that goal.
I had the privilege of playing in the best tournaments and on the best courts in the world, Rafa in Madrid, Novak at Wimbledon, playing the Davis Cup, winning an ATP title, among others, but I also haven't forgotten when I traveled alone for Futures, where the playing conditions are precarious and everything seems far away.
I leave with peace of mind and proud of what I have accomplished, after giving my best. Here are a few photos that represent the most beautiful moments that tennis has given me.
It goes without saying that I will remain connected to this sport, as it is the passion that drives me every day. Thank you all for respecting me and helping me achieve my dream.
To my family, my girlfriend, my friends, the people who have always been there and always will be, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Thank you, tennis, for all the experiences lived and the lessons learned. Pedro."
