New Delhi, May 23
French tennis star Caroline Garcia has announced that she will retire from professional tennis, with this year’s French Open being her final appearance at Roland Garros. The 31-year-old, once ranked world No.4 in singles, made the announcement on social media, confirming that she has only “a few tournaments left” before she brings her career to a close.
“Dear tennis, it’s time to say goodbye,” Garcia wrote. “After 15 years competing at the highest level, and more than 25 years putting pretty much every second of my life into it, I feel ready to start a new chapter.”
Garcia has been a prominent figure in women’s tennis for more than a decade. A winner of 11 WTA singles titles and two French Open doubles titles, she has represented France with pride and passion throughout her journey.
One of the biggest highlights of her career came in 2022, when she won the season-ending WTA Finals, defeating some of the top names in the sport. That same year, she teamed up with Kristina Mladenovic to win her second French Open doubles title.
