STOCKHOLM (AP) Joachim Johansson, once ranked as high as No. 9, is retiring again after a recent comeback in Davis Cup because he lacks the motivation to stay on the tennis tour.
The 28-year-old Swede first retired in 2008 because of injuries. He changed his mind but hardly played again. This month, he helped Sweden beat Russia 3-2 in the Davis Cup.
In Friday's edition of the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, Johansson said he is fit and injury free, but no longer passionate about tennis. As for life on the tour, he said he ``realized that I'm done with this.''
Johansson reached a No. 9 ranking in 2005 after winning his third career ATP title, but his career immediately unraveled because of shoulder and elbow injuries.
