French tennisplayer Amelie Mauresmo retires
Thirty-year-old Amélie Mauresmo announced this morning she is officially putting an end to her tennis career. Some tears were shed by the most famous French tennis star when she made the announcement at a press conference.
Tennis became her passion while watching French tennis player Yannick Noah when she was only 4. She became a professional player in the mid-90s . Her biggest wins were Wimbledon and the Australian Open in 2006. Her only regret : not winning the French open ever!
She will also be remembered as the first French athlete to reveal her homosexuality while still on the courts.
