Injury and health concerns

Wozniacki was one of the most talented players in the circuit but was never able to get that big Slam under he belt during the early 2010s.

Winning the 2018 Australian Open was a big weight off her shoulders but injuries caught up with her later on.

The 29-year-old also suffers from arthritis and has also been diagnosed with auto-immune disease, which happened just before the 2018 US Open.

However, she kept on competing and her retirement is a little premature, given she is just 29.
