It's a nice way to go out.
Greg Rusedski, the 1997 U.S. Open runner-up, retired Saturday after Great Britain beat Holland in their Davis Cup Euro / Africa Zone Group One clash. Rusedski and Jamie Murray helped Britain open up an unassailable 3-0 lead in the tie in Birmingham as they beat Dutch duo Robin Haase and Rogier Wassen 6-1 3-6 6-3 7-6 in the doubles.
And with Murray's brother Andrew and Tim Henman winning their singles matches on Good Friday, John Lloyd and his men can now plan for a World Group play-off in September.
But they will have to do so without Rusedski, who said: "It was a proud moment as it's going to be my last match.
"I'm officially retiring on a win today. I would like to thank all the fans for supporting me for 13 years playing Davis Cup for the country. I'd like to thank Jamie for carrying me through the doubles today."
Lloyd paid tribute to the former British number one, saying: "It's good to go out playing a match like that but we'll miss him. We've had a great team and Greg has been a big part of it."
