France’s Wimbledon champion, Marion Bartoli has made a surprise announcement that she is retiring from tennis.
She made the announcement in Cincinnati, United States, after she lost her second round match in three sets to Simona Halep.
Ranked 7th in the world, Bartoli was beaten 6-3,4-6, 1-6, by the 25th ranked Romanian.
“I have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play…. it’s just body wise I just can’t do it anymore,” Bartoli said after the match.
“Everyone will remember my Wimbledon title. No one will remember the last match I played here. That was probably the last little bit of something that was left inside me,” she said about her Wimbledon title.
She said she has communicated her decision to her father
