Mauresmo suffers injury scare ahead of Wimbledon
The French player was leading 2-1 against Australia’s Samantha Stosur in the second round of the traditional warm-up event when she suffered a left thigh strain.
“I just felt something on the last point of my first service game and then, during the returning game, I felt that I couldn’t really move that well any more or push off my left leg,” Mauresmo, the 2006 Wimbledon champion, told reporters.
“With this happening at the beginning of the match, I didn’t feel like taking any risks before Wimbledon next week. I am of course disappointed but I felt I had to make the decision to stop it here.”

Mauresmo holds off sixth-seeded Alize Cornet
Amelie held off a strong challenge to defeat sixth-seeded Alize Cornet 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 in an all-French matchup at the Eastbourne International on Monday.
Mauresmo, the 2006 Wimbledon and Australian Open champion, dominated the opening set of the first-round match with some impressive backhand volleys and a succession of errors from Cornet.
But the 18-year old Cornet settled down in the second set. With Mauresmo struggling to put the ball away in many rallies, Cornet broke to lead 4-3.
Mauresmo had to fight off two break points at the beginning of the third set, but broke for the match when Cornet sent the ball long.
“The way I played in the first set was great,” Mauresmo said. “I didn’t keep that level up. I started to play a little bit more from the baseline and not being as aggressive as I was at the beginning. That put her back into the match and things got a little bit more even.”
