News about Amelie Mauresmo

With a win, Aryna Sabalenka became the youngest woman to reach six consecutive Grand Slam quarter-finals, marking her triumph over the bald head of her fitness coach Jason Stacy before each match. Amelie Mauresmo was the last woman to attempt this feat in 2005, at the age of 25, and Sabalenka, two months younger, won 6-3, 6-2 on Sunday in 70 minutes over Amanda Anisimova on Margaret Court Arena. 'We just like to do weird s***!' The defending champion and second seed of the game are referring to her pre-match ritual.

Iga Swiatek, according to former champion Amelie Mauresmo, will turn her clay experience into a kind of Wimbledon where she has so far eluded. The 22-year-old Pole claims to be the world's best player after winning her third Roland Garros crown on Saturday but she has yet to demonstrate the same aptitude for the grass. She has yet to make it to the quarter finals in her three visits to the All England Club, and in the third round she was defeated. Mauresmo, the current tournament director of the French Open, believes she will crack it in the end because she is such an excellent performer. 'I think she has the talent to win Wimbledon,' said Mauresemo, who also served as Andy Murray's coach.' I think she's going to have to make one or two changes in her game or otherwise.

However, the Serb has made news once more for non-tennis reasons after being warned by French Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera to 'not participate' in political issues throughout the tournament, while French Open chief Amelie Mauresmo has visited his team to emphasize the importance of political neutrality on the tour.
