Former British number one Elena Baltacha has announced her retirement from tennis with immediate effect. The 30-year-old, who won 11 singles titles, reached the third round of Wimbledon in 2002 and the same stage of the Australian Open, in 2005 and 2010. The Scot reached a career-high ranking of 49 in 2010, but struggled with injury and illness during her career. "My body has taken such a bruising over the last 16 years and that's finally taken its toll," she said. "I have had some amazing experiences through playing tennis - some incredible highs and some very low lows - and I wouldn't change any of them but now my mind and my body are telling me it's time to move on to a new phase of my life." -- #Goldmynetv #Goldmyne #VideoWheels #NigeriaMusic #NigeriaEntertainment #LiveShows #Wizkid #Ycee #Davido #PSquare #TiwaSavage #Flavour #Phyno
