The former world number four in France, Caroline Garcia, said on Friday that she would retire tennis, with the French Open from this weekend his last time at Roland Garros. 11 times title winner on the WTA tour and former double French champion in double, Garcia wrote on social networks that she had “some tournaments on the left” and which it will then be called. “Dear tennis, it’s time to say goodbye,” said the 31 -year -old. “After 15 years of competition at the highest level, and more than 25 years old put there almost every second in my life, I feel ready to start a new chapter.”
Garcia has won nearly $ 19 million at a prize and won the World Tour 2022 final, considered the next Grand Salm level.
The same year, she won the title of French double for the second time with compatriot Kristina Mladenovic.
His best simple race during a major was the semi-finals of the US Open, also in 2022.
She has reached a quarry summit in the world, but is now ranked 145th.
“My tennis trip has not always been easy. Since my beginnings, tennis has been much more than winning or losing. It is love or hatred. Happiness or anger,” she wrote.
“But now it’s time for something else. My body and my personal goals need it.
“However, it’s not over-not yet. I have some tournaments left,” she said.
The first will be in Roland Garros when the tournament begins on Sunday.
