Former World No.5 Anna Chakvetadze, who retired back in 2013, has appeared on
the alternates list of the ITFW25 Koksijde event next week and the ITFW15 Duff
el tournament in the following week.
也太意外了！！！
今年什麼復出年啊XD
原本以為Wozniacki已經是最驚人的
這幾年才開始看球的認識這位恰妹嗎
當年其實人氣也蠻旺的，世界排名最高第5
2007生涯年，澳網法網美網年終都打到至少8強
這應該也是伊達公子睽違12年才復出之後
第二間隔長的復出時間了
其實也已經36歲了，能健康出賽就好
希望可以打到有電視轉播的賽事再次一睹風采

: Former world No. 5 Chakvetadze retires
: ESPN staff September 12, 2013
: Former world number five and US open semi-finalist Anna Chakvetadze has
: announced her retirement aged just 26 due to chronic back injuries after a
: career blighted by an horrific armed robbery in 2007.
: Chakvetadze earned nearly ￡2.5 million in prize money over a career that
: spanned a decade and included a semi-final at Flushing Meadows in 2007, eigh
t
: WTA singles titles and two Fed Cups with Russia.
: She reached a career high No. 5 in the rankings in September 2007 but has
: since seen herself plummet to 577.
: "I no longer see myself in professional tennis so I am ready to say that may
: career is over," Chakvetadze told Russia's Sport Express daily.
: "Of course, this was a difficult decision and I thought hard about it but no
w
: it is finally taken. I understood that the point of return to tennis was
: behind me.
: "I have a chronic back injury. So I took the decision to stop and start a ne
w
: life."
: Chakvetadze failed to recapture the early promise she showed after she was
: held at knifepoint at her home in December 2007. The robbers stole ￡190,000
: and beat up her father.
: "After this my season was a complete failure. They did not rob me at a good
: time," she said with irony. "Yes, it affected my further career."
: However Chakvetadze insists the trauma she suffered changed her for the
: better and made her "look more deeply at things".
: "When the attack happened I thought that was it for us. But we stayed alive.
"
: Her parents still live in the house where the robbery took place. The
: criminals were never caught.
