Talk:Amélie Mauresmo

message: I did not edit the main article, but I would just like to say that Martina Hingis did not actually call Amelie Mauresmo "half a man" as alleged in the main article.  What she actually said was that playing against Mauresmo was like playing against a man. After the initial media uproar over this comment, Hingis clarified in a channel 7 press conference that what she meant is it's not that Mauresmo "is a man", it's more that she plays "like a man" alluding to her unusual (and obvious) powerful game and physique.
She did call her half a man later. Bababu 11:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: While I don't think this page should spend too much text on the issue, I think that the allegations that Mauresmo may have used steroids are relevant. The previous attempt at doing this got reverted away. Does anyone have thoughts about how to do this well? --Rkstafford 18:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Relevant? They're completely unsubstantiated, comming mostly from homophobia. You could write down "Some people are jerks towards Mauresmo because they're insecure.", that's much more relevant. BKmetic 15:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are no credible allegations against Mauresmo and there never have been. End of story. Metamagician3000 03:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I doubt they stem from homophobia. More likely is that they come from her unusually masculine physique (and to some extent facial features). I accept that they are unsubstantiated, but I would not at all be surprised if an allegation was proved in the future. You'll just have to wait a while, Rkstafford :)  79.97.88.32 (talk) 20:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Steroid allegations?

message: I have removed the following from the article as it is unsourced, badly written, and very POV.  If anyone wants to source it and rewrite it NPOV please feel welcome.
Although she is very kind in the outside tennis court, but sometime she has a disingenuous surface in the inside tennis court.
*In Athens Olympic Games 2004, she withdraw the second round of woman doubles with her compatriot Mary Pierce in tennis section because she has a rush when she defeated American Chanda Rubin in first round of single after; but her sickness is not serious actually, also Pierce has a treat chance since Atlanta Olympic Games 1996.  So, she should play this match with Pierce.
*She didn't understand the feeling for Pierce in single final of WTA Championships 2005 when Pierce defeated another American Lindsay Davenporttwice set 7-6 after, also she is 30 years old; but Mauresmo is 26 years old.  So, she should give her chance to Pierce to capture the first championships to get good ending in the tennis season of 2005; however she defeated Pierce 5-7, 7-6, 6-4 yet.  As a result, she incurred Pierce has an injury in next year (2006) of tennis season indirectly.
*In final of Fed Cup 2005 (France VS Russia) , she didn't treasure the last chance in last one deciding doubles match with Pierce to against Elena Dementieva & Dinara Safina when Pierce defeated Anastasia Myskina 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 difficultly.  As a result, they lost to Dementieva & Safina 4-6, 6-1, 3-6.  So, France cannot recapture the championships.  However, she didn't leave the team to response this fault (Pierce has performed her clam period for injury), also she played against the eventual champion Italy with Nathalie Dechy, Virginie Razzano & Emilie Loit (she finished her calm period for she lost to Myskina & Vera Zvonareva with Marion Bartoli in final of this tournament two years ago, as a result France didn't defend their championships and former team leader Guy Forget was resigned) in yext year (2006); as a result France lost to Italy 1-4.  Although she didn't play against Czech Republic (this team have Nicole Vaidisova, Lucie Safarova, Iveta Benesova & Kveta Peschke) in World Group Play-offs to response her previous fault; even if France defeated Czech Republic 3-2 to stay in World Group I, but this behaviour is unacceptable.--Pierce (talk) 15:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm very sorry for you deleted this information, but I want to tell you: this person sometime make a bad behaviour in her tennis match!!  So, I wish you think about her behaviour first and then discuss with me!!--Pierce (talk) 15:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I wish you wrote a better piece of text so it could be included in the article. As of now, the part above is written in incorrect English and barely understandable, and as JiMternet mentioned not neutral. Please do not restore it again until it has been improved. Personally I doubt such a section belongs in the article at all, anyway. -mrbartjens 02:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion concerning this article

message: She became world no. 1 in September 2004.  From here until Australian Open in 2006, there are two paras/three sentences describing the entire 2005 season.  I do not suggest the level of intricate detail should be added that plagues the rest of the article, but two short paras is insufficient to explain what occurred in 2005.  Did she play in the other three Grand Slam tournaments?  Did she retain World No 1 status?  Etc, etc, etc... The Rambling Man (talk) 19:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Personal life 

message: Would we say this is still accurate given that shes playing in the mixed doubles at 2011 French Open? Admittedly I dont know if this is a one off or not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildasha (talk • contribs) 12:28, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Same thing in 2013. She's playing in the Australian Open. So is Lindsay Davenport. It seems that we shouldn't use "former" until they are 70 years old. But hey, even Ilie Nastase plays for fun now and then. (Călușaru' (talk) 23:59, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Former" professional tennis play 

message: The "playing style" section reads like it's copied ad verbatim from some other source, and why does it use mph as first choice? She's a European player (probably because of the ad verbatim copy/paste). Jalwikip (talk) 13:48, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
