In a stunning announcement, recently crowned Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli has announced that she is retiring from tennis.<\/p>\n

Bartoli broke the news on Wednesday evening after being defeated at the Cincinnati Open by Simona Halep. She lost the second round encounter 6-3, 4-6, 1-6.<\/p>\n

The seventh ranked player in the world put the retirement announcement down to playing with increased pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play. It\u2019s just body wise I just can\u2019t do it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added,\u00a0\u201cEveryone will remember my Wimbledon title. No one will remember the last match I played here. That was probably the last little bit of something that was left inside me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her retirement starts with immediate effect and she will not be contesting the US Open or any remaining tournaments.<\/p>\n
