Days after announcing her retirement from professional tennis, Gisela Dulko took some time out to talk about her long career in which she won a grand slam in doubles and climbed to the top of the doubles rankings alongside Flavia Pennetta:

 

“Flavia had a big impact on my career without a doubt, but the best thing I will take from my time with her is our friendship. Together we decided to spend a season playing side-by-side and it was incredible. If only we had started beforehand.”

 

About WTA circuit she said: “When Azarenka, Serena Williams and Sharapova are on their game, I still think they are a step above everyone else”.

 

And about her ‘new life’ she answered: “I will miss the competition in a big way, because tennis is my passion. I am starting a new life and I am really happy. I have made the right decision.”
