Former world No. 4 Johanna Konta got married on Saturday to longterm boyfriend Jackson Wade.
Konta had announced her retirement from tennis earlier this month.
“This has not been a decision that has been made in the last half an hour and it’s not something even that’s been made in the last two months,” she wrote on Twitter.
Of the retirment Konta said: “I wanted to sit with my feelings and emotions and give myself time in coming to the decision. That process has also given me some peace with it because by no means does my retiring mean that I don’t like the sport anymore or that I can’t see myself play anymore.
“Even sitting here, I miss playing. I miss that life because it’s the only life I’ve known since I have memory. So it’s interesting detangling yourself from something that you’ve just been attached to for so long.”
