Carla Suarez Navarro tasted plenty of success on the court during her decade-long career. The Spaniard reached a career high ranking of No. 6, with two singles and three doubles titles to her name. She also made a quarterfinal run at the Australian Open thrice, and at the French Open and the US Open twice each.

Suarez Navarro initially planned to retire in 2020, when she fell sick. The diagnosis, which the former player initially assumed to be COVID, turned out to be Hodgkin Lymphoma.

But Suarez Navarro managed to beat the disease after undergoing treatment, and at the start of 2021 embarked on a farewell tour.

The-then 33-year-old played her last match at the 2021 Billie Jean King Cup with compatriot Sara Sorribes Tormo, where she bid an emotional goodbye to her fans.

"It is the final season that I wanted. I have had a really good year, much better than I could have imagined. I have felt the love of the people in every tournament, on every center court and from the other players also," she said at the time.

"For me, it was so difficult at the beginning of this year and last year as I was fighting, but now I am dealing really good. It has been a great goodbye to the year, to tournaments, to the calendar and to the fans," she added.
