Marion Bartoli shocked the tennis world a few hours ago when, after losing in the second round of the Cincinnati tournament, announced her retirement from professional tennis. The French player claimed she has too many physical problems, to an Achilles tendon, to a shoulder and to her back, to be able to keep on playing. Her victory in Wimbledon a few weeks ago is by far the greatest in her career.
