Magdalena Maleeva capped her career with a second-round loss on
Wednesday at the $1.3 million Zurich Open.
30-year-old Magdalena Maleeva lost to lefthanded Patty Schnyder 6-3, 6-2 at Hallenstadion.
"I have really enjoyed my time in tennis," Magdalena Maleeva said. "I
want to thank everyone, especially the fans, for their support over the
years, and I look forward to my new life beyond tennis."
Magdalena Maleeva, who turned pro back in 1989, captured 10 career
singles titles in 21 finals on the circuit, with her last championship
coming in 2003. She won this Zurich event in 1994.
