I read about this. Entirely too sad that she's leaving at 30. I wish her success and happiness in her retirement.

Saw her play against Maria Kirilenko in Eastbourne, had tremendous support in that match, but MK's guile eventually took over and won the match. I was still very impressed by Elena's performance and can only wish her well in the future.
