Retired. Meaning he had an injury and could not continue playing.
Another thing you can see is "w/o" or walkover, which is when a player does not take the court.

I have found most British people to be quite polite and rather fun. I am an American, the son of a Scotsman, and if there was ever a people to dislike the Brits, it should either be a Scot or an Irishman. Growing up, I spent at least one day per week playing soccer with foreigners, as it was not a well known game back then. The differences in our cultures explain much of how we perceive them as such, but when you get to know the people, you will find they are truly a fun loving bunch and make as much fun of themselves as the do others. It is almost a British comical cultural thing. They make fun of each others' favorite teams, much as we do, but their style of humor comes across a little "off" by our standards. So, just try to realize our cultural differences are what makes us see them as the "high and mighty, self-righteous assholes", (that and the fact that we beat them for our independence and many are still bitter about that.)

It means retired, but not as in he gave up his whole career, just the match. Roddick retired because of a leg injury, so technically you're right, he did give up, but I don't know how bad it was.

ret. means retired, this means they took to the court, but someone got hurt or sick or something so they couldnt continue. In Andy's case it was his calf muscle, it got pulled.

Retired. It means retired because the other player could not finish their match, and had to leave. It is better than saying forgeit, good question.

It means "retired". Roddick did this because he must have had an injury; so he basically forfeited the game.
