Horna announced his retirement from tennis
Peruvian tennis player Luis Horna announced that he will retire from professional tennis after the "Challenger of Lima," which is taking place this coming weekend. Horna was doubles champion at Roland Garros last year.
"I've decided to leave professional tennis after the Challenger of Lima," Horna announced at a press conference, in which he made known his intention to retire from professional tennis.
Horna was away from the game during several months this season due to a series of injuries. Recently he had suggested the possibility of playing for a few more years, but has since changed his mind.
"I don't say no to Davis Cup. I could be in the future in the team," said Horna, when asked about it. He didn't mention if his comeback would be as a player or as collaborator in the national team. The goal of the Peruvian team is to get back to Group 1 of the American Zone.
Horna’s milestones include being part of Peru's team when the nation secured a spot in the Davis Cup World Group for the first time, and capturing the 2008 Roland Garros doubles title with partner Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay.

Szkoda ze kończy karierę.W miarę barwny gracz, nawet się mógł podobać
Zrobił ''sensacyjny'' wynik wygrywając Roland Garros w deblu a to była jednak spora niespodzianka...

Ja kojarzę Luisa z tej singlowej sensacji na Roland Garros, między innymi oczywiście. W 2003 roku ograł w 1 rundzie aspirującego do wielkich laurów Rogera Federera.
Bardzo estetycznie grający zawodnik, z potężnym forhandem.

Bardzo fajny gracz. Kiedyś bardzo go lubiłem, zagrał jedno z najlepszych spotkań w karierze z Fedem- naprawdę imponował swoim forhendem. Nie zgodzę się, że był typowym wyrobnikiem- od gry Lorenziego czy Montanesa różni go częstsza i skuteczniejsza gra kombinacyjna.
Myślę, że gdyby miał lepszy bekhend osiągnąłby więcej.
