Argentine Gaudio considers retirment after poor results
font size ZoomIn ZoomOut

Argentine tennis player Gaston Gaudio, champion at Roland Garros in 2005, said on Wednesday he is considering retirement after recent poor results.

"I would like to go on, but I can't do so like this. My tennis is retiring me," he said after losing in straight sets 6-0 and 6-1 to Sweden's Robin Soderling, at the Barcelona Open.

Following the loss he decided to leave the European tour of clay courts, his best surface, and return to Buenos Aires.

"The level I currently have means there is no fair competition with others. At times it is better to stop playing and take some time out," he told a press conference at Ezeiza International Airport.

Gaudio, known as El Gato (The Cat), described his situation as frustrating and said that he had only three more major tournaments programmed: Rome, Hamburg and Roland Garros. Following these he would decide his future.

Gaudio, 28, ranked 69 in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals, has won eight major titles in his career with 267 victories and 182 losses. This year he has won four games and lost eight.
