Israeli tennis star Shahar Peer retires

Israeli tennis star Shahar Peer is retiring from the game.

Peer, 29, who was once ranked as high as 11 in the world told Channel 2 TV that she would be hanging up her racket.

Peer tells the TV channel that she sat on her bed and cried when she made the decision, but she is now looking forward to life after professional sport.
