Došlo je vrijeme da se kaže zbogom tenisu, Wozniacki najavila kraj karijere

Nekada najbolja teniserka svijeta Caroline Wozniacki najavila je da će nakon Australian Opena 2020. godine završiti.

“Bavila sam se tenisom od svoje 15. godine. Tokom tih 15 godina proživjela sam najljepše trenutke svog života. Osvojila sam 30 titula, 71 sedmicu sam bila svjetski broj 1, osvojila sam WTA Finals, tri puta sam bila na Olimpijskim igrama i nosila zastavu Danske, a osvojila sam i Australian Open 2018. godine. Postigla sam sve što sam mogla”, napisala je na Instagramu.

Prije godinu dana iznenadila je sportski svijet priznanjem da boluje od reumatoidnog artritisa, teške autoimune bolesti.

Da je bolesna, posumnjala je nakon Wimbledona kad se osjećala vrlo iscrpljeno te je primijetila da ne može dignuti ruke iznad glave. Nakon toga se 28-godišnja teniserka obratila ljekarima.

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!

“Dijagnoza me šokirala. Osjećala sam se najspremnije, a onda sam doznala s čim se borim”, rekla je.

Dodala je da želi postati uzor drugima koji boluju od te bolesti.

“Znam dosta ljudi koji se nose s ovim, a želim im biti uzor, želim da kažu da ako Caroline to može, mogu i ja”, rekla je.
