However, Eei h*i has not yet confirmed her retirement and is expected by many to continue competing in international events for a little more time.
Pei Tty said, “This may well be our last title together. No, this win hasn’t changed my mind. It has become difficult for me after my injury. Maybe I can hang on for a few more tournaments but not for the long term. I can’t go on.”
She further added, “Eei h*i and I will play in the Indonesia and Singapore Opens. But I’m done after that. Eei h*i can go on playing because she is fitter.”
However, Eei h*i said, “I still haven’t made a decision on my future yet.”
