A career Ozeki (=Champion) has announced his retirement from grand slam tennis: David Ferrer.
Ferrer never won a slam, but between 2012-14 was an example of outstanding consistency at a very high level. In 2013, he easily cleared the "great hurdle" to Ozeki, after semifinals at the US and Australian Open and a (lost) final at Roland Garros. He held on to the rank for five more tournaments.
Fare well, champion. You will be missed.
