Azarenka.

 

Cirstea stated that in 2025 could be her last season, but no final decision taken yet

 

Halep is the first name to be added to the list.

 

First Carlos Ramos. Now Halep.

Osaka and Andreescu, you in danga girls. Serena is coming for you too.

 

Sharon Fichman announced her official retirement. Her last match was at the 2021 YEC.

 

She's been retired per ITIA's list since October 2024, but good to have it official now.

Anastasiya Shoshyna (banned for using stanozolol in 2020 for 4 years) has also retired in January 2025.

 

Ysaline Bonaventure just announced retirement on her Instagram. Looks like Miami was her farewell event. Glad she was able to end her losing streak and pick up a final win before hanging it up.

 

List updated.

 

Bonaventure especially took advantage of her protected ranking to collect checks. She knew that all jokers was used, she would stop

 

Pemra Ozgen retires (via Ana Vrljic facebook)

Pemci,
Congratulations on an amazing career. You gave your best and pushed above your limits multiple times. It is easy to judge from the outside, but knowing how much it takes to reach what you reached, all I have is respect.
I have been honored to coach you through a big part of your professional career and I am lucky enough to have a lifelong friend like you.
Thank you for trusting me right after I stopped playing professionally.
Now it is time to transfer all your passion, hard work and dedication to younger ones. I am 100% sure you will do amazing with such knowledge, experience and hard work that you have.
See you on the tour coach!

 

I think Mira Antonitsch from Austria retired from profesional tennis. That i understand from post she posted on instagram, its on german which i dont understand. She is 26 years old, had problems with injuries in last three years, best ranking for Mira is 507. when she had 18 years. So sad when players had to end career in young years because of injuries.

 

Jada Bui announced her retirement on IG due to chronic shoulder injuries and is transitioning to pickleball like her sister Mya.

 

^ One less Canadian on the ITF tour.

 

List updated with the retirements of Ozgen, Antonitsch and Bui.

 

Former world #163 Joanne Züger announced retirement on Instagram.

 

Depressing to read few of these recent ones being from young players.

 

Wozniacki

 

List updated with Züger’s retirement

 

Shelby Rogers, who announced her retirement last year, has now made it official and should be removed from the rankings in the next update.

 

Wickmayer has just played her last professional match and has been added to the list.

 

Michaëlla Krajicek has retired.

Afscheidnemende Krajicek krijgt eerbetoon op centre court - Libéma Open

Michaëlla Krajicek wordt voorafgaand aan de spannende finales op zondag 15 juni om 11.30 uur uitgebreid in het zonnetje gezet. De winnares van Libéma Open in 2006 neemt dan afscheid van het professionele tennis. Krajicek was 17 jaar toen ze een van haar hoogtepunten in haar carrière beleefde...

Paris Corley has retired in June and is on the ITIA retired players list.

 

List updated with the retirements of Krajicek and Corley

 

Bye, Michaella. I thought you'd gone much before.

 

^As did I. According to the WTA website, her last match was a loss in qualifying for a 75k in the Netherlands almost exactly a year ago, in July 2024. I would have guessed it was long before that. Always liked watching her actually, wishing her all the best.

 

List updated with Bouchard’s retirement.

 

germans Anna Gabric and Nicole Rivkin also have retired

 

I couldn't find anything about Gabric but Rivkin did indeed announce her retirement on her Insta @cn ireland

 

Why is Kvitova not listed here?

 

 

I don’t know who is Rivkin but I see she’s only 22. Is she retiring because of some grave injury or is there something else? Whatever it is she is so young and should not treat this decision as definite. A lot can change in a year, let alone 3 or 5.

Also kinda strange she posted a short video of her opponent winning the point against her along with her retirement post.

 

As for Anna Gabric, seems she retired and became a coach of Jule Niemeier? She's never mentioned by name oddly, but Jule mentions it is her best friend who is now retired and the article has a random Insta post from Gabric in it.

No results, me thinks. Hasn't even won a single W15 after 4 seasons. A lot of girls around her age have retired while struggling to make an impact, but they haven't been announcing it like this.

She's also been in a college in Texas, not sure if she finished the studies or not, but that could be another reason. Many D1 college tennis US graduates either gave up quickly or didn't bother at all, because they could rely on their studies for a job
