 Rusedski admits he is getting slower around the court |
Former world number four Greg Rusedski has admitted his retirement from tennis is not far off. Rusedski says Great Britain's Davis Cup tie with Ukraine this weekend could well be his penultimate appearance in the competition.
"I am getting very much closer to the decision to hang up my racquet," said the 33-year-old.
"I don't want to go out there and not play well and not be able to compete physically."
Rusedski added that one of his remaining targets is to play Davis Cup in front of a home crowd one last time.
"I would like to keep going on for this tie and I would like to be able to play one more time in Great Britain," he said.
"I am hoping some of the younger kids will have kicked me out by then.
"I don't know how much further I am going to go.
"I am definitely slowing down but I still very much enjoy Davis Cup and being part of a team.
"I am feeling very comfortable and my fitness is certainly not a concern for this tie."
