Mauresmo to play Gold Coast

Two-time Grand Slam singles champion and former world No.1 Amelie Mauresmo has been confirmed for the 2008 Mondial Australian Women's Hardcourts.

The tournament will be held at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast from Sunday 30 December 2007 to Saturday 5 January 2008.

Mauresmo said she was very excited to be starting the 2008 season at the Mondial Australian Women's Hardcourts.

“This will be my first visit to the Gold Coast and my debut at the tournament, so there is a lot to look forward to,” Mauresmo said.

“Playing the Mondial Australian Women's Hardcourts will be a great opportunity to open the year against quality competition and finetune my preparation for the Australian Open two weeks' later.

“Of course, Australia is where I won my first Grand Slam title back in 2006, so I have special memories of the country and always enjoy coming back,” she said.

Following her win at the Australian Open, the 28-year-old Frenchwoman went on to claim her second Grand Slam title at Wimbledon only a few months later and finished runner-up at the prestigious season-ending Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Championships.

This year she accepted three major awards: the Legion of Honour, presented by French President Jacques Chirac (in March), Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Player of the Year for achievements in 2006 (also in March) and the Laureus Breakthrough of the Year for achievements in 2006 (in April).

Inspired to take up tennis at the age of four after watching Yannick Noah win the 1983 French Open, Mauresmo became the first French player – male or female – to achieve the world No.1 ranking in 2004, the same year she won the singles silver medal at the Athens Olympics.

Tournament director Liz Smylie said, “It's fantastic to have Amelie Mauresmo confirmed for the 2008 Mondial Australian Women's Hardcourts. She's such a talented, athletic player; amazing to watch in action.

“Her achievements in tennis are remarkable: reaching the world No.1 ranking, claiming two Grand Slam titles in one year and winning an Olympic medal.

Mauresmo “not on the level”

11/10/2007Tennis-WTA -Moscou - Mauresmo «pas au niveau»

Défaite en trois sets mardi par Vera Zvonareva (4-6, 6-3,6-4) au tournoi de Moscou, Amélie Mauresmo (photo L'Equipe) dresse un bilan sévère de son match et de sa fin de saison, dans L'Equipe de jeudi. «Je ne suis pas au niveau, a-t-elle confié, dans aucun des fondamentaux : le tennis, le physique, le mental».

Depuis son retour d'opération à l'appendice le 18 mars dernier, la Française a disputé neuf tournos pour un bilan inquiétant de 14 victoires pour 10 défaites. Plus préoccupant encore, Mauresmo n'a signé aucune victoire contre une Top 10 dans cette période.

Pour la joueuse, son premier défaut est «le manque de compétition. Et puis il y a des problèmes de concentration : Quand je sens les choses m'échapper, la frustration monte.» Soulignant, après le match, «avoir les boules mais aussi un peu de découragement», la compétitrice devrait néanmoins être présente la semaine prochaine à Zurich. Avec l'espoir de se faire mentir : «Je deviens une joueuse lambda», avoue-t-elle.

Tennis-WTA - Moscow - Mauresmo “not on the level”

Demolished in three sets Tuesday by Vera Zvonareva (4-6, 6-3,6-4) with the tournament of Moscow, Amélie Mauresmo draws up a severe assessment of her match and its end of season, in L'Equipe of Thursday. “I am not on the level, she entrusted, in any the fundamental ones: tennis, physique, the mental one”.

Since her return of operation to the appendix last on March 18, the Frenchwoman disputed nine tournaments for an assessment worrying of 14 victories for 10 defeats. More alarming still, Mauresmo did not sign any victory against a top ten player during this time.

For the player, her first defect is “the lack of competition. And then there are problems of concentration: When I feel the things to escape to me, frustration goes up.” Underlining, after the match, “to have the balls but a also little discouragement”, the compétitrice should nevertheless be present the next week in Zurich. With the hope to be made a lie: “I become a player of non-distinction”, she acknowledges.
