“Dear tennis

I am writing to you because I am ready to say 'goodbye'. When I started playing when I was 5 years old, I never would have thought that we would spend so much time together.

You have given me many kinds of emotions during our journey and I am very grateful for everything you have shown me and what you taught me. I learned how to deal with the toughest defeats and how to enjoy the biggest victories of my career, how to keep fighting when I was upset with you, and yet we never stopped chasing our dreams.

I always knew how I could feel when it was time to say goodbye to you, and this moment has come. I am ready to close the tennis chapter in my life and open a new one that I am also very excited about.

Thank you for everything you have given me. You'll always be in my heart.

Yours

Jules

Postscript: A big thank you also to my family, friends, team, sponsors and fans for always supporting me and believing in me. I couldn't have done it without you. “
