Elena Baltacha still to decide on future

Baltacha undecided on future

Former British number one Elena Baltacha has refused to commit to next year's Wimbledon after crashing out to Petra Kvitova yesterday.

A double bagel was on the cards for Baltacha against Kvitova before she rallied in the second set, losing 6-0 6-4.

However, Baltacha would not be drawn on her future. "Last year I said I was going to retire after the Olympics, but I think I'm going to take it on a week-by-week basis," The Express quotes her as saying. "If I still really enjoy it, if I still believe I'm improving and I still love it, then I'll carry on.

"The last time I got bagelled was when I was 11 or 12. That wasn't a nice feeling. I didn't want that to happen again. She is a very classy player. She will retain her title if she plays like that."

Baltacha has struggled with injuries recently, which has prompted questions over her future.
