Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki announced on Friday that she will retire from tennis after next month's Australian Open.

The 29-year-old Dane won her only Grand Slam singles title in Melbourne last year in her third major final.

"I've accomplished everything I could ever dream of on the court," she said in an Instagram post.

"I've always told myself, when the time comes, that there are things away from tennis that I want to do more, then it's time to be done."
"This (decision) has nothing to do with my health."
