KUALA LUMPUR: Former world No. 5 Low Wee Wern announced her retirement from professional squash on Tuesday.
With four knee surgeries behind her, the 33-year-old is now setting her sights on a coaching career abroad.
"It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from professional squash. "This day was inevitable, but what a journey it has been! I am grateful to my team, who stood by me, my sponsors, and everyone along the way.
"Though this chapter concludes, my passion for the sport and inspiring others remains.
"Here's to new beginnings, a new journey of encouragement, determination, and motivation. I am excited for the opportunities ahead," said Wee Wern, who won six career PSA Tour titles.
Her best achievement was helping Malaysia win a silver medal at the Women's World Team Championships in Canada in 2014.
She also clinched two gold medals, a silver, and two bronze in three Asian Games appearances in 2010 (Guangzhou), 2014 (Incheon), and 2018 (Jakarta-Palembang).
Her last PSA Tour appearance was at the New Zealand Open in December, where she reached the second round.
