[quote=BBQQ,410905]The former World No.3 as well as the champion of 2008 Beijing Olympics announced her retirement from tennis after losing in straight sets to Francesca Schiavone in Doha. It was a surprise. No one knew that she would retire so early. She is just 29 years old. But she has struggled injuries this year. Maybe, that's why she decided to end her tennis career. Although she didn't win any Grand Slam during her career, she is still a great tennis player. Dementieva reached the finals of the French Open and US Open in 2004, and beat Serena Williams, Vera Zvonareva and Dinara Safina on her way to the Olympic gold medal in Beijing in 2008. Her best performance this year came at the French Open where she was beaten in the semi-finals, again by Schiavone.[/quote]
