			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img id="qxp-" style="margin: 1em 1em 0pt 0pt; float: left;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dhr6xqrv_251dqfsddcv_b" alt="" width="300" height="183" />Sweden&#8217;s Jonas Bjorkman has bowed out of professional tennis after a glittering 17 year career that earned him nine Grand Slam doubles titles.</p>
<p>Bjorkman, 36, was treated to a special ceremony at Qi Zhong Stadium after he and partner Kevin Ullyett were knocked out of the Tennis Masters Cup doubles.</p>
<p>&#8220;They reminded me a little bit that this is obviously maybe my last match,&#8221; said Bjorkman, who noticed preparations for the farewell ceremony during the match.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, I was trying to do everything possible to stay alive one more day, or maybe two.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bjorkman won all four doubles Grand Slams as well as the 1998 Davis Cup with Sweden and also reached the 1997 US Open singles semi-final and the last four at Wimbledon just two years ago.</p>
<p>Bjorkman and Ullyett fell to Poland&#8217;s Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski as the Swede failed in his bid for a third year-end title.</p>
<p>&#8220;I still think it&#8217;s great to end my career in the biggest event of the year, even if I would have gone further. But you can&#8217;t have everything,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been mentally prepared for this because I&#8217;m mentally very ready to retire. I&#8217;ve been very fortunate to be able to play for so long.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bjorkman, who will now concentrate on editing a Swedish tennis magazine, cited the 1997 US Open loss to Britain&#8217;s Greg Rusesdski as his biggest regret.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obviously losing to Greg Rusedski in the semi-final was a tough loss because I think that was a chance for me maybe to go all the way,&#8221; he said.<br />

Molik has been a top ten player and has been leading women&#8217;s tennis in Australia for years. Molik has won five singles and seven doubles titles, including the 2005 Australian Open doubles trophy with Svetlana Kuznetsova. <br id="c_jd" /> <br id="c_jd0" /> Molik was on tour for over twelve years and she is still only 27. Alicia has had a lot of injuries over the years and recently she found it near impossible to recover from an inner ear infection which caused her to miss six months. <br id="mjk4" /></p>
<p id="hpwf5">Molik will really be missed, but I&#8217;m sure we will see her at the Australian Open in a commentary job.</p>
