Last year at the Australian Open, Stosur said goodbye to singles and focused only on doubles competitions. Now he will say goodbye to tennis completely. In the women’s doubles, she will appear alongside the Frenchwoman Alizé Cornet, and the mix will play with compatriot Matthew Ebden.
She made her debut at Melbourne Park 21 years ago. “I am happy and grateful that I can finish at my favorite Grand Slam – the home one. In front of home fans, friends and family,” Stosurová said. “I’m looking forward to stepping on the court one last time in front of the amazing fans that make me play and love this sport,” added the winner of nine WTA singles and 28 doubles tournaments.
She experienced her greatest success in 2011, when she defeated the American Serena Williams in the final of the US Open. She won another seven Grand Slam titles in doubles. In doubles, she also won the Tournament of Champions twice.
