"I've always told myself, when the time comes, that there are things away from tennis that I want to do more, then it's time to be done," she wrote in an Instagram post at the time. "In recent months, I've realized that there is a lot more in life that I'd like to accomplish off the court.

"Getting married to David was one of those goals and starting a family with him while continuing to travel the world … This has nothing to do with my health and this isn't a goodbye, I look forward to sharing my exciting journey ahead with all of you!"
