Paris – Caroline Garcia will play her last Roland-Garros in 2025. The 31-year-old former World No.4 announced the news on social media on Friday, just two days before the start of the main draw in Paris.

“After 15 years competing at the highest level, and more than 25 years investing pretty much every second of my life into it, I feel ready to start a new chapter,” she wrote. “Still, this is not over – not just yet. I still have some tournaments left. The first one is at home, at Roland-Garros. My 14th consecutive time being part of it. And my last. So, to all my tennis family who’ll be around, let’s meet one more time, to dream and fight together.”

After 15 years competing at the highest level, and more than 25 years putting pretty much every second of my life into it, I feel ready to start a new chapter.

Garcia played some incredible tennis over the course of her career, winning 11 titles and 26 Top-10 wins. She reached the semifinals at the 2022 US Open – the best performance of her career– and won 62 matches at the majors

She won the WTA Finals in 2022.

Garcia became engaged recently, and has also branched out and become a podcast host. She anchors the Tennis Insider Club podcast, which features interview with other professional tennis players and athletes.

Garcia had an up and down career, but the highs were exceptionally high. She was inside the Top-10 in 2018, rising to No.4, then dropped all the way out of the Top-70 before returning to No.4 in a 2022 season that saw her record 46 wins, her first win over a reigning World No.1 (over Iga Swiatek) and reach her first major semifinal.
