Description

British tennis star Annabel Croft has been talking about why she is giving up the game at the age of 21. Croft says she wasn’t getting any better, and she was enjoying her games less; her relationship with 25 year-old yachtsman Mel Coleman was also a factor. Croft is still ranked number four in the UK, but says she decided to quit about a month ago. Male interviewer not identified.
