Novak Djokovic sigue perfilando poco a poco su calendario para la temporada 2022. Un calendario en el que el serbio no pudo jugar en el Open de Australia tras serle denegado su visado al no estar vacunado. Una razón que también provocó que el serbio no pudiese competir en los Masters 1.000 de Indian Wells y Miami.
La noticia de la retirada de la tenista australiana Ashleigh Barty a los 25 años cuando ocupaba el número 1 del mundo del ranking WTA ha conmocionado al mundo del deporte. Sin embargo, el mundo del tenis ya ha vivido a lo largo de su historia episodios similares al sucedido hoy con Barty con retiradas muy tempranas de grandes estrellas. A continuación repasamos la retirada de otras ilustres raquetas de forma muy temprana.
Ash Barty's stunning decision to quit tennis at 25 and at the top of her game left the tennis world stunned but her coach Craig Tyzzer revealed the Australian was ready to bow out years ago just as her career was taking off. Barty, who walked away from the sport in late-2014 and came back in 2016, made her Grand Slam breakthrough at the French Open in 2019, a watershed moment in the Queenslander's career. Tyzzer told reporters in Brisbane on Thursday that he had prepared a speech for Barty about winning at Roland Garros, about "how profound this was going to be and what it meant to her". "The first thing she said to me was, 'Can I retire now?'" "I sort of went, 'Hang on, I'm not ready for that'."
While the likes of Serena Williams and Rafa Nadal continue to chase Grand Slam titles, defying age and injuries, Barty's declaration that she has achieved everything she set out to in the sport stands in sharp contrast. She leaves tennis as world number one and a three-times major champion with titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon alongside her Australian Open triumph in January, just when the discussion had moved on to how many more Slams she could win. "There was a perspective shift in me in the second phase of my career that my happiness wasn't dependent on the results," Barty said. "Success for me is knowing I've given absolutely everything I can. I'm fulfilled, I'm happy. I know how much work it takes to bring the best out in yourself... I don't have that in me anymore."
