Madeline Perry: ’I don’t have same desire to compete anymore’

Madeline Perry is Ireland’s most successful squash player. Still ranked 18 in the world, she retires from the world tour after today’s Irish Open 2015 final against Nicolette Fernandes at Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club at 3pm.

: So, why retire now?

The fact I’m 38 is probably the major one! I’ve been talking about it for a while. Most of the other girls don’t even take me seriously anymore when I talk about it!
