Does Pinnacle pay out if a tennis player retires after one set?
Yes, on the match money line. Once one full set is complete a retirement leaves money line bets with action, settling on the player who advances. Before that they are voided.

Pinnacle tennis retirement and disqualification rules
Money line stands once one full set is completed. Every other market is void unless that period finished first.
| Retirement | Disqualification |
|---|---|
| stands after one set | stands after one set |
Retirement and disqualification are written into the same sentence here, so the cause makes no difference to how you are paid.
The rule, in their words
“If a competitor retires or is disqualified bets on the Match Money Line market will have action as long as one Set has been completed, otherwise these bets will be voided. Bets on other markets will be deemed void unless the period was played to completion before the retirement or disqualification.”

Other markets
In-play bets placed since the last completed point are void. Match spread and match total are void in ITF and doubles matches using a final-set tie-break, even when nothing goes wrong.
Worth knowing
Retirement and disqualification sit in the same sentence, so unlike bet365 the cause is irrelevant - only whether a set was finished.
Common questions
Are Pinnacle's other tennis markets settled the same way?
No, and this catches people. The one-set rule covers the match money line only. Every other market is void unless that period finished first, so a total games bet can be refunded on the same match your money line is paid.
