5-7, 6-3, 5-7, after losing to Jabel in the third round of the Australian Open, Wozniacki completed the last game of her career.
As early as the Auckland station, Woz said: "I have done my best to prepare, and I will go all out after playing, hoping to end my career with a wonderful performance." At the same time, she also said: "I have been thinking about retirement for a long time, I need to listen to my inner voice, I feel that now is the time." ”
Many people feel very sudden about her decision to retire at the end of last year, although she is about to turn 30 years old, she has not completely lost her competitiveness in the women's tennis world and still has her place.
After the game, she was interviewed and hugged goodbye to everyone, and Wozniacki was also left in tears of sentimentality.
I still remember the first time I asked Woz for an autograph.
It was the China Net in 2017, and I was going to work at my booth. The night before, I had seen the training schedule for the next day at the China Nets and noticed that Wozniacki's training was just before the working hours. So the next day I got up early in the morning and went to the training ground early to watch her training. It was the first time I had seen me, and I was sitting there with a little excitement, and I had prepared my notebook early and watched her train quietly.
The training ended 15 minutes earlier than originally planned, Wozniacki had just packed his bags, a large number of fans flocked to the front, I was a little frightened by this formation, I was a step too late, I had to wait until the fans in front of me signed before squeezing forward, but I watched her have already walked over.
Just as I watched in frustration as her back faded away, Woz suddenly looked back and said it was too late, and I quickly handed Ben over, and she was also very happy to sign her name with a golden pen.
In this way, I had her signature, which I still carefully keep to this day.
In women's tennis, Wozniacki may not be a dominant master, but he is also a first-class player. But before 2018, many people may also call Woz the "uncrowned king", "water fertile", "water noble", etc., and her defensive style of play is constantly questioned, even if she has reached the top of the world as early as 2010, and is the first post-90s to reach the top of the world.
However, without a Grand Slam champion in hand, it will always be controversial in public opinion.
She reached the FINALs of the US Open twice, but both ended in failure. With the gradual maturity of the post-95 generation, many people think that the Dane who has been left for 90 years has fewer and fewer opportunities, but she has used her strength to justify herself, face doubts, and complete the most powerful counterattack.
In 2018, Wozniacki made it all the way to the australian open final, and her opponent was Halep, who was a year younger than her. In the end, after a three-hour battle between the two, Wozniacki laughed to the end, won his first Grand Slam title, and once again reached the top of the world after six years, becoming the player with the longest interval between the two balls since the wta computer scored.
Since then, she can finally get rid of the no-slam hat, and the 30 women's singles titles in her career, including Grand Slams, year-end championships, and crown champions, are enough to make her proud to leave the arena.
In 2019, Woz completed another important stage of her life, entering the marriage hall with former NBA star David Lee, and she also said that it was the happiest weekend of her life and one of her goals in life.
Now, she can finally fully manage her own happy little life and do something that she has not completed in the course of her career. And we may not be able to see her hard running figure on the field, can no longer see her sweet smile after winning, but her hard work will not disappear in our hearts, and her unremitting efforts and pursuit of dreams are more encouragement for our future work moments, which is probably the power of example.
Goodbye, Caroline Wozniacki on the field, and wish you a more colorful life after retiring.
