Caroline Wozniacki announces retirement after Australian Open

29-years-old former world number one, Australian Open champion and WTA Tour finals winner Caroline Wozniacki announced her retirement from professional tennis.

It was a long journey for Wozniacki who turned pro in 2005. During 15 years of her career, she achieved a lot. Winning 30 WTA titles, a total of 624 matches, winning Australian Open and playing the final at the US Open in 2009 and 2014, Wozniacki has announced her retirement from WTA Tour on her Instagram account saying:

"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."

"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!"

Many ATP and WTA players like Kristina Mladenovic, John Isner, Johanna Konta or Serena Williams commented under Wozniacki's post including many messages they wanted to share with Dane.
