In an emotional announcement, Amélie Mauresmo has retired from competitive tennis. Ms Mauresmo indicated that the demands of professional tennis were arduous:
“… “I don’t want to train anymore,” Mauresmo said in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, after shedding tears about the decision. “I had to make a decision, which became evident in the last few months and weeks. When you grew older, it’s more difficult to stay at the top.”
