American player Shelby Rogers has announced that the 2024 US Open will be the last tournament of her career.
The main reason for Rogers’ retirement is health-related; the 31-year-old stated she would continue playing tennis forever if her body permitted:
There really aren’t enough words for this moment, but I can confidently say that I have pushed my body to its limits. These last couple of years fighting with injuries and surgeries have been challenging. I always said that if my heart loves it and my body is healthy I would play this sport forever!
