For loop not running

I've been trying to get a for loop to run 9 times using the below code but can't get the loop to run.

void output() {
  int r;
  r = 1;
  Serial.println("Output");
  digitalWrite(Latch, LOW);
  for (int r=1; r >= 9;  r = r + 1) {
    Serial.println("Test");
    digitalWrite(DataOutput, Q[r]);
    digitalWrite(ClockPin, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(ClockPin, LOW);
  }
  Serial.println("Done For");
  digitalWrite(Latch, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(Latch, LOW);
}
