"It's not me anymore on the court": Krajinovic admits retirement a possibility despite only being 31
ATP
31-year-old Filip Krajinovic of Serbian hinted at a possible big career announcement which some are speculating to be retired after a very bad stretch of results.
Krajinovic once stood in the Paris Masters final a few years ago losing in the final but he never quite hit that level again. He was ranked 26th at the time which was the best career ranking he ever had but things are a bit different now. He's pretty much on the verge of dropping out of the top 100 with a 7-15 record so far this year.
Last year was okay at 20-17 with the previous year having a 20-23 record. It's been a while since he posted a really good one which happened in 2019 when he had a 46-21 record. Speaking to Serbian media after his Roland Garros exit, Krajinovic hinted at a big announcement.

Retirement looming
He didn't really hint at a retirement specifically but the way he phrased made it seem like the announcement would be surprising. At 31 Krajinovic is still young enough to keep paying but his statement might make you think otherwise:
"I mean, I got hit in the throat right at the beginning. It
bothered me a little, but that's not why I lost. It's a bad streak of
my career that seems never-ending and simply - I'm having a hard time
with all of this. All kinds of things are going through my head,
thoughts... I will soon announce some news regarding my career, it may
be unexpected, but soon everyone will find out what will happen."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
