Leilani Confirms Retirement New Zealand's former world squash No1 Leilani Rorani, a double gold medallist in last month's Commonwealth Games in England, has confirmed her retirement from the sport. The former Leilani Joyce, who married Mormon missionary Blair Rorani on the eve of the Manchester 2002 Games, has revealed that she is expecting a baby and will therefore not now represent New Zealand in next month's McWil Courtwall Women's World Team Championship in Denmark. Leilani rose to the top of the women's world rankings in November 2000 after winning two successive British Open titles. The 28-year-old from Hamilton claimed her 16th and last WISPA World Tour trophy in September last year when she won the Hong Kong Open, beating Australia's four-times world champion and current world No1 Sarah Fitz-Gerald on the way to the final. In December, Rorani ruptured her Achilles in training and was forced to withdraw from the circuit until making her highly successful comeback at the Commonwealth Games in July. "Not only has Leilani had a superb playing record but she has been a real professional and great ambassador for women's squash," said Women's International Squash Players' Association (WISPA) Director Andrew Shelley. "She has also been a really popular member of the WISPA Tour. Had she asked permission to leave the Tour we would not have given it! "We all wish Leilani and Blair well as they enter this exciting new phase of their life together," Shelley added.
