Susanti unsure on retirement

REUTER

GLASGOW, May 26: Susi Susanti is still playing a teasing game on when she will retire, but the Indonesian is certain that this week will be her last chance to reclaim the World Championship crown that she donned in 1993.

The 26-year-old, who totally dominated the sport in the early 1990s, has slipped to number five in the world rankings.

But she proved she is still a major force with victory over China's Ye Zhaoying, the All-England champion and World No 1, in the Sudirman Cup team championship last Friday.

``The win has made me think very positively about the individual championships,'' said Susanti. Last year, Susanti announced she would be retiring after the Olympic Games in Atlanta. But then she said she would play one more year. Today, she intimated that the deadline could again be extended. ``Maybe this will be my last World Championships, but maybe not,'' she said.
