This from ESPN this morning:

...
Belgian Kristof Vliegen, 29, also called it quits. Doubles player Simon Aspelin retired at his home event in Bastad, while Dick Norman indicates that doubles partner Wesley Moodie has decided to stop as well....

We already noted that Aspelin had retired (at Bastad), but don't recall seeing anything about Vliegen or Moodie.

Vliegen was fun to watch - "The Fly". Forget which pool, but he did serious damage one year in an SP.

Moodie was 2005 Wimbledon Men's Doubles champ (w/ Stephen Huss).

First round of either Wimbledon or the French. Don't know which year. But I think M8 will remember.

I don't remember Vliegen doing serious damage. Maybe once in the low teens. But, he almost always lost when picked in the first round. 5 here. 4 there. 8 more here. 5 more there. Maybe once 13.

I didn't realize he was 29 already.

He always looked young. Not Darcis young. But "Mom, would you drive me to my tennis match" young.

Whatever year it was he got me in the FO AND the Wimbly SPs. Will really miss him.

Best wishes to both of them!

I do remember him knocking me out, but not the year. I'm sure JJnow can tell you not only the slam and year but the usernames of all members affected.
