About Anett

I started training at 6 years old under the supervision of my mother Ülle Milk and 3 years later on the my second year of competing I won my first title. In the finals of the Estonian Youth Championship (T-10) I defeated in the 2.5 hour and 3 set match my then biggest rival at home Mari Kalma 4:6;6:4;6:2. It was year 2004 and as an active girl from Püünsi school, I had in addition to tennis divided my time between choir practice and folk dance. Finally the time had come when the dance practice was paid by the performance at the 17th Dance Celebration in Estonia – a real Estonian has to participate in the dance or song celebration festival at least once a life. Step by step the extra activities started to fade to the background and the who attention concentrated on tennis.

ANETT KONTAVEIT's Statement

Today, I am announcing that I am ending my career as a competitive athlete. This is an extremely emotional decision for me because I love tennis. I love the game that has been the center of my life over 20 years. Every professional player knows how difficult it is to reach the top in tennis and even more so to stay there. Every victory requires not only physical but also mental effort.

Kontaveit who recently participated in her third grand slam eight-final tournament has decided to end a successful two-year working relationship with coach Glenn Schaap.
