Anastasija Sevastova has just announced her retirement from professional tennis. The Latvian tennis player, former world number 11 in the WTA ranking and winner of four WTA tournaments, confirmed that she was hanging up her racket through her Instagram account: "It is never easy to say goodbye to something you truly love, but after months of deep reflection, I have made a decision. I am retiring from professional tennis. Looking back on all these years (decades, actually), I only feel gratitude. It has been an honor to share the court with fellow players, coaches, physiotherapists, sponsors, referees, and, of course, my incredible FANS."
"What a roller coaster it has been, full of ups and downs, joys, and challenges. Nevertheless, I couldn't be prouder of all that I have achieved, and even more so of the lifelong friendships I have formed with so many exceptional people along the way. And lastly, to my family and loved ones: words will never be enough. Know that I dedicate to you my deepest gratitude and my boundless love," concluded the now 36-year-old former tennis player.
