\u201cDear tennis, it\u2019s time to say goodbye,\u201d Garcia wrote. \u201cAfter 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.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Garcia has been a prominent figure in women\u2019s 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Her best Grand Slam singles result came at the 2022 US Open, where the 31-year-old Gardia reached the semifinals. Currently ranked 145th in the world, Garcia acknowledged that the decision to retire was not easy, but one she feels ready for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy tennis journey hasn\u2019t always been easy,\u201d she said. \u201cSince my early days, tennis has been much more than just winning or losing. It\u2019s been love or hate. Happiness or anger. But now it\u2019s time for something else. My body and my personal goals need it,\u201d she wrote in her post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
