Croatian hasn't played Wimbledon since '01

PARIS -- Goran Ivanisevic told a Croatian newspaper he plans to retire after pl
aying one last time at Wimbledon, which he won in 2001.
"I've been thinking about it for the last two years," Ivanisevic said in an int
erview published Monday by Sportske Novosti. "It's not easy to admit, but time
trickles by, and one day you have to draw the line and say, 'Enough.' "
He hasn't played at the All England Club since winning his only Grand Slam titl
e there as a wild-card entry when ranked 125th.
The 32-year-old Ivanisevic had left shoulder surgery soon after, and he's had o
ther injury problems. He isn't playing at the French Open, which started Monday
.
"Wimbledon is something else. Two worlds: Wimbledon and the rest," he told the
newspaper. "It's the biggest for any player. There is no better way to bow out.
Hopefully, I'll play on Centre Court and win a few rounds."
He said he considered returning to Wimbledon for just one serve, hoping it woul
d be an ace -- and then walking off into retirement.
"An ace. One more ace. The last one," he said. "But no. I couldn't do that, not
to Wimbledon. It is too big a tournament, and I don't deserve to leave like th
at."
