I think many great sportsmen have a real issue retiring at the right time though. Not sure about Lleyton as I don't follow tennis really closely.
Many just don't want to accept that they're not that prime 25 year old anymore who could get it done regularly.
Look at Michael Jordan, game winning jumpshot to win his sixth title in his final season with the Bulls. Picturesque scene, couldn't probably write an ending better but his competitive itch brought him out of retirement.
but my point is, who are the people on the couches to tell them when to retire from their job?
The attitude is once you've past your best you should stop earning a living out of respect to the fans or something, like its insulting to us to not be as good as you once were.
Any person who makes the second round of a grand slam is quite obviously well up to the required standard, so why are people telling him to give it up?
