England's Linda Elriani has called it a day after 16 years on the WISPA tour, in which she appeared in 32 Tour finals and won 16 titles. The 34-year-old achieved a career high World No. 3 ranking in January 2000, the same year she captained England to a title at the World Team Championships—one of the 75 times she represented her country. Elriani and her husband, Laurent, will take up coaching positions at the Field Club in Greenwich.
