It’s crazy to think that Caroline Wozniacki has been playing professional tennis for the last 14 years. The Dane has been a dominant force on tour ever since turning pro, but unfortunately all good things must come to an end. The former World No. 1 announced today that she will retire after the 2020 Australian Open this coming January.
Wozniacki posted a detailed description on why she made this decision.
We’re going to miss her so much!

Wozniacki’s former junior rival (and rival in the pros later on!) Alize Cornet was one of many players to congratulate Caroline on an amazing career!
I remember the first time we played each other for 3 and a half hours when we were 11, I can't believe how time has flyed, and how an amazing champion you've became. Congrats to you and your dad for this unbelievable career Caroline 👏👏👏 ! All the best 😘😘 https://t.co/9Cda8zUPHZ pic.twitter.com/IPyks4JCE9

Everyone knows Bianca Andreescu had an absolutely historic year on court in 2019. What they may not know is the US Open champion is also making a major impact off court as well.

After starting the year rehabbing a back injury, Vasek Pospisil made some serious noise at the tail-end of the season. We’re certain this was a preview of what’s to come in 2020!
What a wild year on and off the court. Leaving the 2019 season with a new perspective & renewed love for the game. Big thank you to my fans, family, and my team. And to my latest sponsors @Huawei_Canada and #Soroc for their support and friendship. Excited for what's to come 😎 pic.twitter.com/gkR30J4wqH

There are no days off as a professional athlete – just ask Milos Raonic, who is hard at work to be fully fit and healthy for 2020.

If Denis Shapovalov continues to take the steps he made this year, the sky is the limit!
