Follow us on Google Discover It’s getting towards the stage of the season where tennis players across the world are starting to look ahead to next year.
Daria Kasatkina has ended her 2025 early after a tough run of tournaments and other players have followed suit.
Prior to that, Elina Svitolina also conceded early for 2025, choosing to rest her body ahead of next year on the WTA Tour.
The WTA does have a problem with scheduling and there is a firm argument that the elite players do play too much tennis in the modern era.
Now, with a few tournaments left to play this year, another successful player has decided to call time on 2025 early ahead of next year.

Boisson defied the odds in May, reaching the semifinal of the French Open before losing to Coco Gauff.
The French player was handed a wildcard for Roland Garros, 12 months after being denied the chance to play the event after injuring her knee.
Gauff praised Boisson after beating her to set up a final and eventually win the tournament, with her ranking shooting up from number 361 at the start of the year to number 41 now.
Now, Boisson has posted on Instagram that her 2025 has come to a premature end.
She said: “After trading with my team and medical staff, we have made the decision to put an end to my 2025 season. I’m going to take some time to rest and then I’m going back to training very soon to come back stronger in 2026. See you very soon! Lois!”
Boisson now faces fight to be seeded for the Australian Open
Crucially, Boisson will be at the Australian Open next year, unlike 2025 when she didn’t even enter qualifying.
However, things might now be more difficult than they need to be, with Boisson not currently occupying a position as a seeded player.
Still, given that she’s injured, this clearly can’t be helped and now the complete focus will be to recover as quickly as possible from her thigh injury.
Boisson will have a chance to squeeze into a seeded spot with tournaments in Brisbane and Adelaide to come before the Australian Open.
The 22-year-old has big points to defend from the French Open next year and as a result, she will be under no illusions that a strong start to 2026 is a must.
