Dear Fans,
It is with a heavy heart and deep gratitude that I share some difficult news with you. After much reflection and consideration, I have decided to retire from professional tennis due to serious health issues that have significantly impacted my ability to compete at the level I aspire to.
This decision was not made lightly. Tennis has been my life’s passion and the driving force behind my dreams. The courts have been my second home, and the support from you, my incredible fans, has been a constant source of strength and inspiration. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for the unwavering encouragement and love you have shown me throughout my career.
As many of you know, I have been grappling with health challenges that have affected my performance and my overall well-being. Despite the best efforts of my medical team and the dedication I have put into my recovery, it has become clear that continuing to compete at the professional level is no longer feasible. The decision to step away is a necessary one for my health and my future.
I am deeply grateful for the memories we have shared on and off the court. Every match, every tournament, and every moment of triumph and adversity has been made more meaningful because of your support. The journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I will always cherish the camaraderie and the friendships I have formed within the tennis community.
While I am saddened to close this chapter, I am also hopeful and excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead. I look forward to exploring new paths and continuing to be involved in the sport I love in different capacities. Tennis will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am eager to contribute to the game in new ways and support the next generation of players.
Please know that this is not a goodbye but rather a heartfelt thank you for being such an integral part of my journey. Your support has been a beacon of light during both the highs and lows, and I am profoundly grateful for each and every one of you. I hope to carry forward the lessons and the spirit of the game into the next phase of my life.
With deepest gratitude and affection,
Elena Rybakina
