Grateful Kunieda reflects fondly on "best" wheelchair tennis career

Japan's Shingo Kunieda, one of the greatest wheelchair tennis players of all time, said Tuesday during his retirement press conference that his career could not have gone any better. "I can clearly tell fans that I had the best tennis career," said the 38-year-old, who announced his retirement in late January while at the top of the world rankings. "Winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics was the best moment of my career. I still get emotional when I look at pictures from that time." Kunieda won his third Paralympic singles gold in Tokyo in 2021 and completed his career Grand Slam by winning Wimbledon last year.
