TORONTO — Vasek Pospisil is planning to retire after the upcoming National Bank Open.

The 35-year-old from Vernon, B.C., received a main-draw wild card on Monday for the event in Toronto for his final farewell.

Pospisil won six doubles titles on the ATP Tour, including Wimbledon in 2014 and at Indian Wells in 2015. He achieved career-high rankings of No. 25 in singles (2014) and No. 4 in doubles (2015).

Pospisil represented Canada twice at the Olympic Games (London 2012 and Rio 2016).

He also represented Canada numerous times at the Davis Cup since his debut in 2008. Pospisil played in 35 ties and earned 33 wins, helping Canada capture its first title in 2022.
