Feliciano Lopez beaten in Mallorca and officially retired
Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez’s journey to Mallorca ends in the quarter-finals. He was beaten by the German Jannick Hanfmann (6-2, 6-4) in what will remain the last match of his career.
The German Jannick Hanfmann, 48th in the world, put an end to the career of Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez (634th) whom he eliminated 6-2, 6-4 Thursday in the quarter-finals of the Mallorca gr tournament.
At 41, Lopez was clearly dominated for his last match of a career that began in 1997 and during which he reached the 12th rank in the world in 2015 and played the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.
He won a total of seven titles and can boast of victories against Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic when they were world No.1.
But it is Hanfmann who, after beating defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas (5th) in the first round, will try to reach the final by facing Friday the winner of the Franco-French duel between Adrian Mannarino (43rd) and Corentin Moutet ( 80th).
