I was lucky enough to have an exceptional career and to experience very strong feelings on the court . Former world No . 1 . Mauresmo announces her retirement from tennis . The 30-year - old holds an emotional press conference , saying she has no future . She was the first French player , male or female , to reach the top of the world . But her career has been on a downward spiral since suffering injuries during 2007 .
