Lokoli to Retire in 2026 and Hopes to Play Roland-Garros One Last Time

Ranked 405th in the world, Laurent Lokoli is soon set to call time on his professional tennis career. The 30-year-old player, who lost in the final of the Ajaccio Challenger to Antoine Escoffier last weekend (7-6, 7-6), made a major announcement after his defeat, stating that he plans to retire in the spring of 2026.

For this, he hopes to receive a wild card to compete at Roland-Garros, as he confirmed on social media.

"I’d like to clarify that Roland-Garros 2026 will potentially be my last tournament. That’s my wish, but I don’t want my words to be misinterpreted.

If I don’t have the ranking, I’ll need a WC (wild card). If I don’t get one, no problem—thank you, tennis," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Lokoli achieved his career-high ranking in 2023, when he was ranked 167th in the ATP.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.

Son of a gun, pow. You going for the 3peat? Do it, but I'm chasing and so is Jimandlori. lol

POWWOW , Congratulations you did it again and by slim percentage points. Keep it going....
