The 32-year-old Libyan played his last match in January, stopping in France in the doubles semifinals of the “Challenger” tournament. He is currently in the 372nd position in the doubles ranking.
As the reason for not continuing his career, Libietis cited a lack of funding.
The Libyan returned to tennis last year after a five-year break and first successfully competed in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) tournaments, but last year he won two “Challenger” level competitions.
During his studies, the Libyan won the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) doubles championship in the United States, as well as won the “Challenger” series competition in Knoxville. After finishing his studies, the athlete started his professional career last year, achieving his greatest success in the summer of 2016, when he won 14 matches in a row in the “Futures” tournaments in the Baltic States.
In the summer of 2017, he became Latvia’s number one racket in men’s tennis for a few weeks, depriving Ernest Gulbi of this honor, who was struggling with health problems at the time. True, in November of the same year, the tennis player ruptured his Achilles tendon and since then he did not participate in official competitions for almost five years.
