Ana Ivanovic announced her retirement from professional tennis in a video on her Facebook page on Wednesday.
Ivanovic said her health is the main reason behind her decision, as she is no longer able to perform at 100% fitness due to various injuries.
A former WTA No. 1 in 2008, Ivanovic struggled in 2016, finishing outside the Top 25 for the first time since 2004, her second year on tour. She finished the year with a record of 15-16, losing six first-round matches, and did not win a WTA title during the season. In recent years, injuries have held her back and she's had difficulties find the form that saw her win her only Grand Slam title at the French Open in 2008.
