The post Former No.1 Caroline Wozniacki Will Retire after 2020 Australian Open appeared first on yoursportspot.com.
]]>Wozniacki, who turned 29 in July, made the announcement during her appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” while also confirming the news on social media.
“Today I am announcing that I will be retiring from professional tennis after the Australian Open in January,” Wozniacki wrote on Instagram while posting a photo of herself from her career beginnings. “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!”
Although Wozniacki said that the retirement decision doesn’t have anything to do with her health, the truth is that her 2019 campaign was derailed by several injuries. As a result, she only played 35 matches this year and failed to go past the third round at Grand Slams. Her last appearance on the tennis court was China Open semifinals, where she lost to Naomi Osaka.
Wozniacki won 30 WTA titles during her career including Australian Open win in 2018. She reached US Open finals twice in her career as well, while being the top-ranked tennis player in the world on two occasions, in 2010 and 2011.

]]>“Definitely wasn’t the best match I’ve ever played,” – said Wozniacki after the loss.
This was a surprising exit for Wozniacki, as she played really well in her previous two appearances at French Open, managing to reach quarterfinals in 2017 and fourth round in 2018.
“I played really well in the first set. I played aggressive. I played the way I wanted to play. And then I think she got very lucky at the start of the second set and took advantage of the opportunities she got,” – she added. “And then I think I just lost a little steam in the end.”
Caroline Wozniacki now has four straight defeats since reaching the finals in Charleston last month. This included first-round exits at Madrid and Rome.
Wozniacki’s elimination wasn’t the only surprise in woman’s singles at French Open, as No. 18 Julia Goerges also saw an early exit handed to her by 61st ranked Kaia Kanepi.
