Childhood photos tribute to Julia Goerges’ career

Former world No.9 Julia Goerges announced the end of her tennis career yesterday and I thought it would be nice to show you some of her childhood photos as part of my Little Tennis Stars series.

Reminiscent of her tennis beginnings, Goerges shared the above picture as part of her retirement announcement. The German started playing tennis at the age of five and ended her career as one of only three players from her country to reach a Top 15 ranking in both singles and doubles.
