After 17 years as a professional tennis player, at the age of 31, Carla Suárez Navarro sensed a change. The grueling training blocks required to play at an elite level no longer held much fascination. Traveling the world wasn’t the adventure it once was and she was looking forward to being a mother.

And so, the 5-foot-4 athlete announced that 2020 would be the last season of her distinguished career. She was proud of her accomplishments: a career-high No.6 in singles and No.11 in doubles, 500 match-wins, two titles, nearly $12 million in prize money and a berth in the quarterfinals of three of the Grand Slams. It was time.
