That's a shame.

I always thought that he'd retire after playing another Wimbledon tournament.

Same .. my favourite of all time !

Apparently due to the pain he hadn’t been able to train properly for over 2 YEARS !

Yet still managed to do well last Wimbledon even with a leg injury

He'll always be a legend for the Sport imo (I honestly hope that this doesn't age badly) but he achieved so much in the Sport despite the fact that Grass Court Tennis is the least common Court in modern Tennis.

And I agree with you that he did well last Wimbledon considering his injury.

I believe he’s the ONLY true genius in thw history of tennis …

Amazing that he was apparently self taught / coached throughout his career

I actually never knew that he was self taught, that is impressive.
