Amelie Mauresmo the 30 year old Frenchwoman called it quits Thursday. Her main reason for retiring was that she no longer has the burning desire for competition. "I don't want to train anymore". Amelie said while shedding a few tears. "I had to make a decision, which became evident in the last few months and weeks. When you grow older its more difficult to stay at the top."
Mauresmo is known for at age 19 acknowledging she is a lesbian, just as much as her great play. At one time Mauresmo was the player to beat on the WTA tour. In 2006 Amelie won both the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and reached being the #1 ranked woman in the world.
To go along with 2 major championships, Mauresmo was also on the 2003 Fed Cup French Championship team. She won the WTA Tour Championship in 2005, and won the silver medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics. A definite hall-of-fame career.
When asked about a possible comeback, Mauresmo said her decision was definitive. She'll be missed on the tour, especially by doubles partner Svetlana Kuznetsova. ;)
One last thing I ponder is: Did the curse of this guy lead to her retirement? Nah, couldn't be. She is a lesbian.....right?
Well, Nando is kind of a bitch... I think Maurlesbo has a couple more good years left in her, but I guess it's her decision. And by the way, the Kuz is so NOT lesbian. She just happens to be homies with all of them, but that doesn't mean anything! lol
