The will is there, but body won't listen: Nadia Petrova, Jarmila Wolfe retire from professional tennis

After Ana Ivanovic left professional tennis, the WTA is saying goodbye to two more players whose injuries can't be healed any more: Russian Nadia Petrova and Australian Jarmila Wolfe.

Besides her numerous on-court accomplishments, later in her career Nadia made headlines with her Ellesse fashion faux pas :)

After almost two decades of professional career and 917 singles and doubles match wins, the 34-year-old Petrova decided to quit tennis, as her body simply couldn't recover from the strains it had gone through en route to the Russian's 13 WTA singles and 24 WTA doubles titles.
