She made a post saying goodbye (and for real this time) and withdrew from some current/upcoming events she had entered. Can anyone like @Meelis confirm if she filed retirement paperwork ?

This comeback was rather random, but I'm glad she got the chance to play one last Wimbledon and I guess satisfy some questions in her mind about whether she was truly finished or not. I do think she'll thrive in retirement as she's quite smart, probably has a bright commentary future, and has already written some successful books.

She retired at the right moment last year at RG when her ranking was falling out of the top 100 and she couldn’t get the slam MD paychecks anymore.

Granted she had a fun little time touring this year and had a nice little hopeful run to the final round of Wimbledon qualies but I think it’s obvious that the level this year wasn’t there for her to get back to a slam MD level.
