WTA stars reveal their toughest decisions

From leaving home to dropping out of school, the women tell all.

Published Mar 08, 2017

The Czech said she stopped school at the tender age of 12 to "put everything into tennis," but at least it worked. She's the third seed this week in Indian Wells.

But Dominika Cibulkova went another route with her confessional, turning to her love life (though it is still very much career related).

There's no doubting that all the WTA stars featured in these powerful videos had to make some tough decisions, but there's also no doubting that it's turned out quite well for each and every one of them.
