Olympic Gold Medallist Monica Puig gets married to tennis player Nathan Rakitt

Retired tennis player Monica Puig got married in her native Puerto Rico to tennis player Nathan Rakitt.
Puig's best career result came in Rio at the Olympic Games where she had a surprise run to win the gold medal. Her run included wins over the likes of Serena Williams as she played amazing tennis that left everyone shocked.
Puig never achieved the same level outside of that event despite being a fairly solid player. Multiple injuries and surgeries left her out of the sport for a very long time but she attempted a comeback earlier this year. A match in Madrid against Collins saw her beaten and not long after that, she announced her retirement.
The reason for it was simply that her body can't keep up anymore. Puig and Rakitt met at a tennis clinic 15 years ago and got married recently.

- No surprise really. When things go wrong, you start to see the real Djokovic. He has.a history of throwing tantrums, swearing, destroying rackets, comimg up with excuses and, and, and...... I honestly find it difficult to like or respect this guy.GustafC15-04-2024
- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.
