British tennis player Keothavong retires
LONDON: Former British number one Anne Keothavong announced her retirement from tennis on Wednesday. Keothavong in 2009 became the first British woman to reach the world’s top 50 for 16 years. Her other major career high point came at the 2008 US Open, where she reached the third round, while she made the second round at Wimbledon four times. But the 29-year-old, who made five WTA singles semifinals, saw her progress hampered by two serious knee injuries. She has endured a miserable season in 2013, with her ranking slumping to 285. Keothavong, who reached a career-high ranking of 48 four years ago, has decided to go into media work and is joining BT Sport as part of their team to cover the WTA Tour. afp
