Frenchman Gilles Simon, 37, played the last game of his career on Thursday.
Beaten in two sets (6-1/6-3) by the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 at Bercy, the Niçois hangs up the rackets.
He had successively defeated Andy Murray then the 11th player in the world Taylor Fritz in the previous rounds.
End clap for Gilles Simon.
