Nekadašnja prva tenisačica svijeta Caroline Wozniacki objavila je da će nakon prvog Grand Slama u 2020. završiti karijeru i da će Australian open biti njezin posljednji turnir.
Australian open je turnir na kome je zabilježila najveći uspjeh u karijeri osvojivši titulu u Melbourneu 2018. godine.
"Na terenu sam ostvarila sve o čemu sam ikada mogla sanjati. Uvijek sam sebi govorila da ću se povući kada budem više željela raditi stvari van tenisa. Udaja za Davida je jedna od ispunjenih želja. Želim sa njim osnovati porodicu dok zajedno putujemo svijetom i podižemo svijest o reumatskom artritisu", napisala je Caroline.
"Uzevši sve to u obzir, danas vam javljam da ću karijeru završiti nakon Australian opena u siječnju. Ova odluka nema nikakve veze sa mojim zdravljem i nije konačni pozdrav. Obavještavat ću vas o mom životnom putovanju koje dolazi", dodala je Dankinja.
"Na kraju, željela bih se od sveg srca zahvaliti navijačima, prijateljima, sponzorima, mom timu i posebno mom ocu, mom mužu i mojoj obitelji na desetljećima podrške. Bez vas nikada ne bih uspjela", zaključila je Wozniacki.
Wozniacki je ukupno 71 tjedan proveo na prvom mjestu ljestvice. Više od desetljeća bila je u vrhu svjetskog tenisa i osvajala je bar po jedan trofej od 2008. do 2018. godine.

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!
