Tennis player Amelie Mauresmo was
born on July 5, 1979 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (France). With only four years she
decided that she wanted to be a tennis player after seeing in television the
victory of the Frenchman Yannick Noah in Roland Garros. In 1996 she won the
qualifications of Roland Garros y Wimbledon in the junior championship, and she was
nominated champion of the world. Three years later, and already as professional
tennis player, she managed to win to the number one of the
world Lindsay Davenport, coming to the final of the Open of Australia. In 1999
she gave an international press conference to announce that she was lesbian, and unlike what happened
with Martina Navratilova, her sponsors and the public supported her, although
not other players
of the circuit as Martina Hingis that declared that Mauresmo was "half a man".
In 2000 she broke with her fiancée, Sylvie Bourdon, proprietress of a night
club, and she began a relation with Pascal Arribe that would last two years. The
periods 2000 and 2001 she turned out to be steamed up by an injury of back. Her
father died of cancer in 2002. One year later Amelie won the Federation
Cup for France. In 2004 she won the silver medal in the Olympian Games of
Athens. The same year she achieved the number one of the world, being
the first French player of the history obtaining it. Nevertheless, she has not
won any tournament of Grand Slam up to the moment. Her hobbies are mount on horseback, to ski and the motoring. At present she resides in
Geneva (Switzerland).
