Australian Dylan Alcott, the first man in history to complete the Golden Slam (winning all four major titles as well as an Olympic or Paralympic gold medal) has announced that he will retire after the next Australian Open.

"The time has come, I feel redundant, I feel old, washed up. It's the next generation's turn to dominate and get the recognition they deserve," Alcott told a press conference in Melbourne on Tuesday.

Alcott, who is one of Australia's most successful athletes, said he was proud to have changed perceptions regarding disabled athletes.

"I am so proud and proud of the work we have done, to be honest. Being a good tennis player is not the priority of my life. Being a good person is," he said.

"Being a good advocate, community and changing perceptions for people like me so they can live lives they deserve to live and get the opportunities I have had."
