Mauresmo will speak

Amélie Mauresmo should lift the veil on how she intends to give her career. The Frenchwoman had indeed summoned the press on Thursday late morning in Paris. And if doubt is still permitted, it is more than likely she announces her withdrawal from the courts after sixteen years in business. The former world number one (a position she reached in September 2004 and March 2006) no longer appeared in competition since losing in the second round of the U.S. Open in late August. A few weeks later, she ended her season, citing a lack of desire.

Having already reluctant to retire at the end of last season, Mauresmo still had re-enlisted for another year. With specific goals, namely winning a tournament and make a good performance at Wimbledon, the test which takes the most. The first was done with the title at the Open Gaz de France, the 25th of her career, before ending in the fourth round in London. "The major goal for me this year was Wimbledon. We can easily imagine that it is difficult to leave behind. There was a great cut, great moments with family, friends, etc.. C ' was a little hard, "she said on her website after the U.S. Open.

Her coach, Hugo Lecoq, talking regularly with her these days, as Xavier Moreau, her physical trainer since 2002, which was recently expressed in the columns of L'Equipe. According to him, her mood swung between "I'm able to play at the highest level" and "I feel an enormous weariness over constraints." And if she wants to be physically ready to begin the 2010 season in Australia, the Frenchwoman, 30 years old, who completed the year to 21st place worldwide, had a tight timing for taking a decision "no later than early December "according to Moreau. It is and we will then know.
