ret. stands for Retired, an other sports abbreviation.
Tennis score notation for a match that ended because a player stopped mid-match, usually through injury. The opponent advances, and the match counts in records.
Example: Final score: 6-3, 4-1 ret.
Usage notes
Unlike a walkover, a retirement counts as a win for the opponent in head-to-head and ranking terms. Prize money is still paid to the retiring player for the round reached. Often written "ret" without the period.
