mélie Simone Mauresmo (born on 5 July 1979) is a French professional tennis player. She is a former World No. 1. Mauresmo won two Grand Slam singles titles in 2006, at the Australian Open and at Wimbledon.

Mauresmo first attained the top ranking on September 13, 2004, holding it for five weeks on that occasion. She was the fourteenth World No. 1 in women's tennis since the computer rankings began. She is well known for her powerful one-handed backhand and her strong net play. She is coached by Loïc Courteau.

French tennis star Amelie Mauresmo had to pull out from the Brisbane International due to having strained her thigh.

However, Mauresmo is hoping to have recovered well enough to be able to take part in the Australian Open later this month.

29-year-old Mauresmo was 4-0 behind in the semi-final match against Marion Bartoli when she was forced to retire from the game.

Mauresmo, who was the winner of the 2006 Australian Open, explained that she had been thinking about the forthcoming Grand Slam tournament when she decided to give up.

Mauresmo’s career has gone downhill over the past two years due mainly to injuries she has suffered, and she has dropped down to 23rd in the world rankings.

Mauresmo is having an MRI scan on Saturday to see how bad her injury is.

Nevertheless, Mauresmo will probably be fit enough to play in the first Grand Slam tournament of the season that is due to start on 19 January.
