López lost to Yannick Hanfmann 2-6, 4-6 in a quarterfinal match at Spain’s ATP 250 tournament.

Feliciano said goodbye to tennis after 26 seasons on the world circuit.

“I was a different player without even trying because of my personality as a player, my style and my serve. But I didn’t train to have that style of tennis.

I grew up like most Spaniards. I trained at Barcelona, ​​but naturally I decided to be a different type of player.

I am very proud of the fact that I managed not to miss a single major tournament in 20 years, and that I left a good impression on my colleagues and people I spent time with” – Feliciano Lopez.
