Dechy hangs up her racket


Nathalie Dechy has announced her retirement from tennis at the age of 30.

The Frenchwoman, who was on the circuit for 16 years and had a highest world ranking of 11th in January 2006, wants to devote more time to her family.

Her best finish in a grand slam came in 2005, when she reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open.

She won one singles tournament while two of her seven doubles titles came at the US Open, in 2006 and 2007.
