"It was an invaluable experience, tennis gave me a lot. It's hard to say whether I would do it all again, but I will look back at that period of my life with a smile! Right now I'm stepping into the new chapter of my life," Pervak said of her retirement. Over her professional sports career, the 24-year-old Pervak has won one WTA title at Tashkent Open in 2011 and eleven ITF tournaments.
