PARIS (AP) — Caroline Garcia, a former U.S. Open semifinalist who has been ranked as high as No. 4, says she will retire from tennis.
As she prepares to play at the French Open for a 14th consecutive appearance, the Frenchwoman said on social media that “it’s time to say goodbye.”
“After 15 years competing at the highest level, and over 25 years devoting almost every second of my life to this sport, I feel ready to turn the page and open a new chapter,” Garcia said. “That said, it’s not quite over yet. I still have a few tournaments to play.
