I love Dechy! She needs her own thread!

Congratulations, but I'll miss her terribly in doubles. Such a talented player

**Stainditnew** · 07-21-2009, 04:29 PM

Wow! Congrats to Natalie! I didn't realize she was already 30.

I came across this. I don't know if it has been posted in other threads, but here it is:

PARIS—French player Nathalie Dechy is retiring to concentrate on her family life.

The French tennis federation said in a statement Tuesday that the 30-year-old Dechy has decided to end her career as she is expecting a child.

Dechy reached the Australian Open semifinals in 2005, but is currently ranked 88th.

Dechy won the Gold Coast singles tournament in 2003 and two Grand Slam doubles titles at the U.S. Open—with Vera Zvonareva in 2006, and Dinara Safina in 2007. She also won mixed doubles at the French Open in 2007.

Dechy played for France in the Fed Cup in singles and doubles from 2000 until this year.

Guess I didn't realize that Dinara HAS won a slam.

Congrats, Natalie!

**VodsNittats** · 07-21-2009, 05:04 PM

So does this mean we can expect her to return to the Tour in late 2011?

Nat has always been one of my favorite players and I shall miss her greatly. Best wishes to her and to her baby.

**retrahdggd** · 07-21-2009, 06:18 PM

The other player in a match that nearly killed me back in 2005. Bless her and her familia. She's had an awesome career.

That was quite a match.

**spacecrafty** · 07-21-2009, 06:38 PM

Congrats to her! I'll miss her on the tour. She was always fun to watch.

**EarnestKS** · 07-21-2009, 07:03 PM

Very sad, but I'm very happy for her!

**retrahdggd** · 07-21-2009, 07:57 PM

That was quite a match.

She did play one hell of a match that day, that's for sure.

**Stovegeothnon** · 07-21-2009, 08:15 PM

Now I really wish that net cord went the other way for her at Wimbledon last year. Congrats to Nathalie on a wonderful (tennis) life.
