新浪體育訊 馬德里15日消息，西班牙唯一的女子溫網冠軍馬丁內茲宣佈正式退役。
馬丁內茲將在本周日年滿34歲，1994年溫網決賽西班牙人擊敗女金剛納芙納蒂諾娃，
阻止了對手拿下瘋狂的溫網10連冠；馬丁內茲職業生涯還進入了兩項大滿貫賽事決
賽，1998年的澳網決賽不敵瑞士公主辛吉斯獲得亞軍，2000年法網決賽成就了法國
人皮爾斯的冠軍。
馬丁內茲1988年進入職業網球賽場，一共獲得33個賽事冠軍，最近一個冠軍是
在去年泰國芭堤雅公開賽獲得冠軍，1995年世界排名第2、四大滿貫都進入半決賽是
她職業生涯的又一個頂峰，另外馬丁內茲還幫助西班牙隊5次獲得聯合會杯冠軍，並

Martinez says it's time to stop
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/4911978.stm
Former Wimbledon champion Conchita Martinez has announced her retirement,
a day before her 34th birthday.
The former world number two caused an upset when she prevented Martina
Navratilova from winning her 10th Wimbledon singles crown in 1994.
Martinez, the only Spanish woman to win a Wimbledon singles title, also
reached the final at the Australian Open in 1998 and the French Open in
2000.
She won 33 singles titles in her career, the last in Thailand in 2005.
Martinez, who turned professional in 1998, also won five Fed Cup titles
with Spain.
She took part in four Olympic Games, winning silver in the doubles event
in both1992 and 2004 as well as a bronze in 1996.
A clay-court specialist whose only Grand Slam title ironically came on
grass, Martinez was ever-present in the world's top 10 between 1989 and
1998, reaching number two in 1995.
Her ability to grind down opponents in long, attritional rallies helped
her reach the semi-finals of all four Grand Slams that year.
Four years after winning Wimbledon, she reached the final of the Australian
Open where she was beaten by Martina Hingis.
And in 2000, she lost to Mary Pierce in the final at Roland Garros.
"It wasn't an easy decision, but everything has to come to an end," said
Martinez, after announcing her retirement at the Valencia Open.
"There were some hard times but in the end the successes will always
remain."
Martinez said she may still play doubles.
