Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli hails from France retired from tennis after losing the second round match to Simona Halep 3-6, 6-4-,61 at the Cincinnati Masters here.
The 28-year-old veteran while announcing her decision Wednesday said she had injuries in her Achilles tendon, shoulder, hips and lower back throughout her career. She was the eighth seed of the tournament.
“I have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play.... It’s just body wise. I just can’t do it anymore. Everyone will remember my Wimbledon title. No one will remember the last match I played here,” said the World No.7.
“It’s time for me to retire and to call it a career. I feel it’s time for me to walk away actually,” said the 28—year-old in an emotional press conference
