"You really should mind your business" - Victoria Azarenka on players being constantly quizzed about their retirement

Victoria Azarenka recently expressed her dissatisfaction with the constant questioning of players' retirement plans by the media. The 33-year-old believes that it is a waste of time and the fixation on the topic takes away from the game's main focus.

"I feel like when there are players who are older, like me, older in tennis, not older in life, I'm very young still, I see a lot of people keep asking about retirement. Once they retire, it's like, We miss them," Azarenka said.
"It's like let's not waste this time before everybody retires to talk about retirement. People will let you guys know when it's time, and that's kind of it," she added.

Azarenka called it a futile exercise and emphasized that if any player is contemplating retirement, they will undoubtedly make it public. She further urged people to "mind their own business," as when a player is prepared to retire, they will do so on their own terms.

"But I see that coming up all the time, those comments. Oh, the age. You know, mind your business in a way. Like you really should mind your business," Victoria Azarenka said.
"When it's ready, everybody's going to announce it one way or the other, and there's going to be a parade for some, maybe some not," she added. "Maybe some just say bye and you never see them again. Whatever choice it is, just leave it up to people. That's my opinion."
