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!
