Former world number one Amelie Mauresmo has announced her retirement from tennis at the age of 30.

The 2006 Wimbledon and Australian Open champion won the Paris Indoor Open in February but have not played since September’s US Open.

“I don’t want to train any more. As you grew older, it’s more difficult to stay at the top,” said a tearful Mauresmo.

The Frenchwoman missed the last two tournaments of the season and ended the year ranked 21st in the world.
