AT 33, RUSEDKI RETIRES

The 33-year-old Rusedski, who was born in Canada but has represented Britain since 1995, quit after winning a Davis Cup doubles match. Rusedski and Jamie Murray, the younger brother of Andy Murray, beat Robin Haase and Rogier Wassen of the Netherlands 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5) to give Britain a 3-0 lead and send the team into the World Group playoffs. Rusedski, whose highest ranking was No. 4 in October 1997, said he wanted to spend more time with his wife Lucy and daughter Scarlett, who was born in January 2006. Rusedski was born in Montreal and began representing Britain, the birth place of his mother, four years after turning professional. The left-hander won 15 singles titles on the ATP tour, including the 1998 Paris Masters. Aside from the 1997 U.S. Open, the only other time he advanced past the fourth round at a Grand Slam was at Wimbledon the same year, when he lost in the quarter-finals.
