Does retirement loom for Caroline Wozniacki? Future plans up in the year after US Open one year after comeback
WTAWednesday, 28 August 2024 at 10:30
Caroline Wozniacki admitted that she doesn't know what the future holds after the 2024 US Open after making the perfect start to see off Nao Hibino at Flushing Meadows.
Wozniacki seemed to hint at retirement and become the latest after Angelique Kerber to return and then halt it again. She said that she wasn't sure if she play after. The Dane opened up with a 6-0, 6-1 win.
“I honestly don't know what my plans are after the Open right now,” she said.
“My initial thought is I'm probably not going to play after, but I don't know. I don't have a final say. Again, wherever I travel, I'm going to go with the kids, and I also have to see what's best for the family and myself.”
But it seemed to be more of a this year kind of deal. She also decided to skip the rest of 2023 after last year's US Open in what was a puzzling move as she tried to ascend the rankings again.
“For this year, for now, yeah. Again, I don't know what the future brings, but for now, I'm focusing on here and then I'm going to make the next decisions then.”
“Obviously I've played for a year now. You know, it's been an adjustment for the body, as well, you know, with all that.
“But I feel good. I feel like if I play my best, I can beat anyone. But obviously if you're not 100 per cent then you can lose to everyone. It's all about resetting for every match and every point and then go from there, but I feel good right now, and I'm happy to be into the next round.”

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
