"I am ready for 2008!"
Amelie flies next Thursday, steering Australia to start her 2008 season.
- Amélie, how do you feel now, after more than 6 weeks of intensive drives and on the eve of leaving for Australia?
I feel really good, I made a very intense preparation without having to change or modify what we had planned with my team. It now remains for me to play a maximum number of points to get on my first match with all my cues from Thursday.
- What will be your program on the spot as soon as you arrive?
As always after a long trip, I will have to adapt as quickly as possible the conditions on the ground. I know it will be very hot but I come early enough so that everything is set up day after day. I shall play my first game undoubtedly the 31 and before that there will be other players to matches and Fitness.
- You go to Australia with great hope and enthusiasm, can you give us the goals that you have set for the year 2008?
What counts for me is to first find the faster my best level tennis. I know that I am very well prepared, which I am really at my best physically, I need the victories chain to be in great confidence and be able to reach my goals for 2008. In season there are important deadlines for me, the Grand Slam tournaments, open GDF always so special for me and of course the Olympics.
- You spent a lot of time at home in Geneva in recent weeks, apart from your drives, as you did when you? Have you had time to do your Christmas shopping?
It's true that I was able to spend time at home more than in previous years because this year we do not prepare ourselves gone on mountains and it also felt good to return in the evening at home rather than in a room hotel. I have not done much for this time period at the end of the day I rather want to be early dinner at the apartment or at Guy (Forget) with my team and some friends.
- A message for your fans?
This year, I will start very early in Australia since I will take the plane Thursday, Dec. 20. Before leaving, I want to wish you a very Happy Holiday and above all my best wishes for 2008 and also thank you for your support and your m

Fed Cup-China-without Mauresmo
Fed Cup - Chine-France sans Mauresmo
Eurosport - mar., 11 déc. 13:36:00 2007
Amélie Mauresmo ne disputera pas le premier tour de la Fed Cup en Chine début février avec l'équipe de France. 18e mondiale actuellement, la Française a décidé de privilégier son parcours sur le circuit WTA. Depuis 1998, elle n'avait raté que 8 rencontres de Fed Cup sur 18 jouées.
Pour la neuvième fois de sa carrière, Amélie Mauresmo va manquer une rencontre de Fed Cup. Depuis 1998 et son premier match face à la Suissesse Patty Schnyder, elle avait participé à toutes les campagnes, manquant seulement huit confrontations dont aucune demi-finale. "La rencontre aurait eu lieu en France, j'aurais pu l'ajouter à mon programme, mais aller en Chine ! Pour une fois je préfère privilégier le côté individuel" , a déclaré Amélie Mauresmo au journal L'Equipe paru mardi. Dans une situation délicate, celle qui a joué le rôle de locomotive du tennis français fait un choix qui ne la déshonore pas. L'émancipation de Marion Bartoli et Tatiana Golovin, qui a déjà été N.1 de l'équipe en 2007, ont les moyens de prendre le relais.
Qui plus est, la saison de Mauresmo, qui a chuté du 3e au 18e rang mondial en 2007, est capitale. Elle aura 29 ans au mois de juillet et ne doit pas se disperser si elle veut rattraper le wagon du top 10. A l'instar de Roger Federer, qui a quant à lui si souvent snobé l'épreuve, elle tentera de mieux maîtriser son calendrier pour se concentrer sur les tournois majeurs. Reste à Georges Goven (capitaine) et à Loic Courteau (entraîneur de l'équipe de France qui est aussi le coach d'Amélie) de gérer les problèmes de la nouvelle génération : les blessures de Golovin et les desirata de Bartoli. On suivra aussi, derrière les joueuses plus expérimentées que sont Virginie Razzano, Nathalie Dechy et Séverine Brémond, la possible arrivée d'Alizé Cornet.

It will also follow behind the more experienced players that are Virginie Razzano, Nathalie Dechy and Séverine Brémond, the possible arrival of Alizé Cornet.
