He was ranked second in the world in doubles in September 2018.
Sock will pair with John Isner for doubles at the 2023 US Open; Isner is also retiring after the US Open.
I think Isner/Sock will win the title. Both had great singles careers (especially Isner), but don’t have anything in the tank to make a run on singles. They should give everything to the doubles with Isner serve and Sock being great doubles player, i think they’ll do it pic.twitter.com/Ez7zBhOqEL

Fans hope to see the Sock/Isner team contend for the title in their swan song.
Sock and Isner’s first doubles match is against American Robert Galloway and French player Albano Olivetti.
Whereas Isner has not shared what his plans are in retirement beyond spending time at home with family, Sock already has his next career move planned.
He will be playing pickleball.

Tennis and pickleball have a close correlation, but it is not an easy transition as proven at the Inaugural Pickleball Slam this spring when Grand Slam champions John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, and Michael Chang played.
@ESPN_Ardi Thanks for airing the Pickleball Slam…however, please RE AIR it in its entirety, as I set DVR for 2 hrs, obviously you underestimated their desire to WIN at all cost! Please secure 4 hr time slot to re broadcast this epic inaugural SLAM! https://t.co/PHQiW432oQ. 🏓 pic.twitter.com/XKQCFcRYQ9
