I don't get how we've raised a generation of people that they think life is so hard even when the are multimillionaires at 25. Seriously, what do they want out of life? Isn't playing a game better than the other options out there?
Less than two months after winning the Australian Open, top-ranked Ash Barty has announced her retirement from tennis at the age of 25, saying she leaves the sport "feeling proud and fulfilled."
There have been threads on this board about working hard and retiring as early as possible. She's doing it at 25!
Exactly. If her financial needs are met, why keep grinding away at work? Maybe there are other more fun ways to spend her time than hitting 1000 balls a day.
That article didn’t say anything about pressure or mental health, where are you getting that OP?
I’m sure there is a grind to all pro sports. If you’re already rich and you’ve accomplished all your goals, if you lose your love of the sport for whatever reason the grind is not going to seem worth it any more.
For what it’s worth I’d retire tomorrow if I could, and I even like my job.

She had already mentally burned out once on tennis a few years ago, took an extended break, came back, and eventually decided she liked her life better when she wasn't playing tennis. Oh well, her life, her decision.

Like what. Don't most people play golf or tennis when they're retired?

100% agree with this. If she's worth millions, why keep grinding away in the public eye? She can now go on and do whatever the hell she wants. This is a baller move.

Wow, how brain dead do you have to be to think it's a bad idea to retire at 25 if you have earned over 20 million? Invested, that'll earn them over a million a year for the rest of their life. Who can't live a great life on a million a year?
They won. They get to enjoy the rest of their life. So weird to see Americans hate people smart enough to enjoy life. What's the point of working if you don't need money? Americans have disease. Workaholicism is not a virtue.

Because your life becomes pointless? 25 is too young to be having fun the rest of your life. You need drive and a purpose, that's a big part of what makes life worth living. Hopefully she has something to fill that void.
The OP who is likely a total loser is trying to say that a woman who became the best female tennis player in the world could not handle pressure. You incels need help.
