Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut announced Thursday that this will be his final year on the ATP Tour.

The 38-year-old has won 12 singles titles and spent 27 weeks in the top 10, peaking at World No. 9 in 2019.

Bautista Agut, who also won the 2019 Davis Cup with Spain, has earned more than $20 million in prize money.

"I've been living a dream for many years. I've given everything I had in every practice session and every match," Bautista Agut posted on Instagram. "Now I feel the time has come to start saying goodbye, to enjoy every tournament in a different way and to end this phase of my life with gratitude for my beloved tennis."

Bautista Agut's biggest victory was the ATP 500 title at Dubai in 2018. His best finish in a grand slam tournament was a run to the Wimbledon semifinals in 2019.

"I want to be present until the final point of the year," Bautista Agut said of his time remaining on the ATP Tour. "I want to feel and appreciate the support of the people, to compete one more time in the tournaments that have been part of my life, and to say farewell on court, which is where I've always been happiest."

Bautista Agut has a career singles record of 435-297.
