In 2015, Roland Garros was worth a trip for Swiss tennis fans and journalists: Not only did Stan Wawrinka win the men's title with and in his very distinctive trousers, no, the Confederates had long hopes for women too: Timea Bacsinszky namely reached the semifinals, in which she was defeated by the eventual winner Serena Williams . There will be no repetition of this rush for a Grand Slam title - Bacsinszky announced her retirement from active tennis this week.
In the recent past it had become quiet around the now 32-year-old, which was mainly due to a series of injuries. Bacsinszky played her last competitive match in Seoul in 2019, and did not win a single game against the American Kristie Ahn. What doesn't change the fact that it was a pleasure to watch the now tennis retiree in her heyday at work: Bacsinszky played with as much finesse as her compatriot Martina Hingis, but also brought her opponents to the edge with her toughness and fighting spirit of despair.
Timea Bacsinszky has four individual titles in its final balance sheet, and the prize money of more than six million US dollars is also impressive. But a woman who has always treated her colleagues, fans and the press in a charming way also says goodbye. This is not only suggested by the farewell greetings on social media.
