...is the situation is a lot more complex than you make it out to be.
She had been dealing with clinical depression for about six years with medical assistance. Even her sports agent acknowledged this and was assisting the family in getting her help and keeping to a therapy schedule.
The decline in her tennis play may not be the cause of her retirement, but rather a symptom of what was going on in her life with depression.
