Thomas Muster to retire a second time

[truebluefan]

Former world No. 1 Thomas Muster will retire from full-time tennis following next month's Erste Bank Open tournament in his native Austria.

Muster, who turns 44 early next month, made his comeback to professional tennis in 2010 after 11 years away.

"You should not drag it along forever," Muster said Wednesday. "I wanted to relive competitive tennis again and I've really enjoyed it."

Muster is ranked 847th after winning two matches in 18 tournaments on the lower-tier Challenger tour. He has lost both his main-draw matches at the ATP level.
