I found a webpage via google.de that states this news.

She lost her last match 1998 against Dechy and then came back for one challenger in the US this spring to find out she isn´t fit enough.

She is still injured and though she was keen to return and even moved to the US for that between 2000 and 2001, but she won´t continue trying.

Good luck in the future, Barbara !

Shame Barbara never got back to full fitness and health <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> She was a good player for a long time, and I hope she enjoys her life outside of tennis.

Barbara will definitely be missed. When I watched her I used to call her the "topspin girl" because she had SO much topspin on her shots. LOL I remember she gave Hingis a bagel set at the 97 French Open! But I think her best year was in 96 where she won a few titles and took Arantxa to 3 sets in the final of the Family Circle Cup. Anyways, too bad she couldn't come back to tennis 100% healthy but I wish her the best in the rest of her life. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
