Wozniacki macht nach den Australian Open Schluss

Caroline Wozniacki wird ihre Karriere nach den Australian Open (20. Januar bis 2. Februar) beenden. Dies kündigte die 29-jährige Dänin am Freitag auf Instagram an. Der Rücktritt habe nichts zu tun mit ihrer Gesundheit, schrieb Wozniacki. Vielmehr hätten sich die Prioritäten in ihrem Leben in den letzten Monaten verschoben. Wozniacki holte in Melbourne 2018 ihren einzigen Grand-Slam-Titel. Daneben gewann sie 29 weitere Turniere auf der Tour und war während total 71 Wochen die Nummer 1 im Frauen-Tennis.

I’ve played professionally since I was 15 years old. In that time I’ve experienced an amazing first chapter of my life. With 30 WTA singles titles, a world #1 ranking for 71 weeks, a WTA Finals victory, 3 Olympics, including carrying the flag for my native Denmark, and winning the 2018 Australian Open Grand slam championship, I’ve accomplished everything I could ever dream of on the court. I’ve always told myself, when the time comes, that there are things away from tennis that I want to do more, then it’s time to be done. In recent months, I’ve realized that there is a lot more in life that I’d like to accomplish off the court. Getting married to David was one of those goals and starting a family with him while continuing to travel the world and helping raise awareness about rheumatoid arthritis (project upcoming) are all passions of mine moving forward. So with that, today I am announcing that I will be retiring from professional tennis after the Australian Open in January. This has nothing to do with my health and this isn’t a goodbye, I look forward to sharing my exciting journey ahead with all of you! Finally, I want to thank with all my heart, the fans, my friends, my sponsors, my team, especially my father as my coach, my husband, and my family for decades of support! Without all of you I could have never have done this!, Link öffnet in einem neuen Fenster
