Caroline Garcia, one of France’s most accomplished tennis players, has announced her retirement from professional tennis. At 31 years old, Garcia has decided to step away from the sport after competing at the highest level for 15 years.
Garcia reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 4 in September 2018 and November 2022, demonstrating her consistency and excellence on the court. In doubles, she achieved a peak ranking of world No. 2 in October 2016. Her career is highlighted by significant achievements, including winning the 2022 WTA Finals, two French Open doubles titles in 2016 and 2022, and playing a crucial role in France’s 2019 Billie Jean King Cup victory.
In her heartfelt farewell message, Garcia expressed gratitude for her journey, acknowledging the challenges and triumphs that shaped her career. She emphasized that tennis was more than just a sport—it was a source of joy, frustration, and personal growth. While she is stepping away, she will still compete in a few final tournaments, including her 14th consecutive appearance at Roland Garros, marking the end of an era.
Garcia’s legacy extends beyond her titles and rankings. Her dedication, resilience, and passion for the game have inspired countless fans and aspiring players. As she prepares for her final matches, the tennis world will celebrate her contributions and the impact she has had on the sport. Her next chapter remains to be seen, but her influence on tennis will undoubtedly endure.
This was the message.
