Caroline Wozniacki, 29, to retire after 2020 Australian Open, closing her 'first chapter'
Caroline Wozniacki, a former No. 1 tennis player, announced she will retire from the sport after the 2020 Australian Open. The 29-year-old is currently ranked No. 37 in the world and has 30 singles titles over her career.
She said the retirement has nothing to do with her health and more to do with what else she wants to accomplish in life as well as leaving the sport on a high note.
Wozniacki struggled in 2019, missing a singles title for the first time in her career as she battled injuries and dropping from the top 5 in rank. The year prior, 10 months after winning her first slam title, she announced a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
In June, Wozniacki married former New York Knicks player Daniel Lee and the couple recently moved to a condo on Fisher Island in Miami. One of the 18 tennis courts at the Palazzo Del Sol facility is named after the tennis star.
In her social media announcement, the star said she wants to start a family while traveling and promoting awareness about rheumatoid arthritis. She also began classes at Harvard Business School this past September.
