Shelby Rogers said goodbye to professional tennis at the recent US Open after losing in the first round to Jessica Pegula, who didn't allow any room for discussion during the match. At 31 years old, the American had been plagued by injuries for some time, unable to compete consistently. However, no one expected such a significant announcement with so little notice. In a recent interview with Tennis Channel colleagues, the former world No. 30 confirmed that everything was part of a plan. Surely, Danielle Collins' example during these months helped her choose a completely different path to her final decision. She explains it all clearly.
Life without tennis
"I feel great, although I might not be fully aware yet; maybe I'll realize it at the beginning of the next season when I won't be going to Australia. That's when the big change will come, seeing that I'm not following the tennis calendar, that's when reality will hit. For now, I'm enjoying the break, recovering physically after so many years of competition."
