Marion Bartoli celebrates her first grand slam title at the age of 28. |
Marion Bartoli announced her retirement from tennis at the age of 28, less than six weeks after winning her first and last grand slam title at Wimbledon.
She cited a succession of injuries, particularly an Achilles problem that was troubling her on hard courts.
"My body just can't do it anymore. I've already been through a lot of injuries since the beginning of the year," Bartoli said during an emotional press conference.
"I've been on the tour for so long, and I really pushed through and left it all during that Wimbledon. I really felt I gave all the energy I had left in my body."
