Inside the 2025 Transitions of Former Tennis Athletes

Tennis stars are making headlines as they juggle shifting careers, relationships and personal journeys in 2025. Former pro Joey Graziadei opened up about how his whirlwind Dancing With the Stars experience put a strain on his romance with fiancée Kelsey Anderson, though the challenges brought them even closer as they settle into domestic life. Meanwhile, Caroline Wozniacki attended a major golf event with her family where her ex Rory McIlroy competed and won.

Danielle Collins, on the other hand, made a bold statement by quietly retiring from the game, rejecting the usual fanfare and spotlight, to move on from the career that often left her feeling like an outsider. With new chapters unfolding off the tennis court, many athletes are proving that navigating personal transitions is as fierce as any championship match.
