Thomas Johansson of Sweden is retiring after 15 years on the ATP Tour. Johansson, the 2002 Australian Open champion, made the statement on Friday. “After a lot of thinking, I have now decided to step off the train and end my professional tennis career,” said the 34 year old. “During the fall I had to go through yet another operation after a foot injury and a month ago I became a dad for the second time.” Johansson reached a career high ranking of 7 and helped his country win the Davis Cup in 1998. Other career achievements for the Swede were reaching the Wimbledon semifinals in 2005 and finishing runner-up in doubles at the Beijing Olympics last Summer.
