tennis after the end of the US Open where he is participating in the doubles

In a post on social media, it was revealed that Sock is now

The Lincoln-born will end his career with just four career
titles to his name in the singles category. His record in the Grand Slams remains
pretty average as well.
His best outing in the mega-events was reaching the fourth
round of the French Open and US Open — in 2015 and 2016.
However, his record in the doubles category was indeed an
impressive one where he won three Grand Slam titles.
In the 2014 Wimbledon final, Sock along with Canada’s Vasek
Pospisil defeated America’s Bryan Brothers with a score of 7–6(7–5), 6–7(3–7),
6–4, 3–6, 7–5.
Four years later in London, he along with Mike Bryan
defeated South Africa’s Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus with a score of 6–3,
6–7(7–9), 6–3, 5–7, 7–5 to lift his second Wimbledon doubles title.
In the US Open later that year, Sock and Bryan defeated
Poland’s Lukasz Kubot and Brazil’s Marcelo Melo with a score of 6-3, 6-1.
