Marie de Villepin was watching Amélie's match...

...against Safarova, according to our Resident Official Supplier of Amelie's Pictures During Off Season (OSAPDOS) and WMO MomoBlogger BARBIE (whose amazing photoblog can be seen here)

he he he

this calls for another round of speculations I think. Or at least explains why the rumors circulated :P (see report here)

UPDATE: cutelatingirl from wtaworld said:
"I was the commentator who saw the possible "good friend" of Amélie, and it wasn’t in a picture, I saw the entire match on TV and as Ion Ţiriac is a very important man in the world of tennis and he’s known because doesn’t like the women’s tennis (I don’t blame him), he took the attention of the media for looking at the complete match.

She was not too close, maybe a couple of lines behind but they were alone in that "box" and talked and talked all the time. Besides she applauded in a very effusive way the few incredible points that Mauresmo played as she does (sometimes).... Was she her gf? I cannot assure that, but very VERY similar... yes.

Perhaps the baby has a crush on Momo and is having a hard time avoiding G's threats... LOL (Also see discussion on the post below: here)

Now, if earlier I was looking forward for someone to upload the match, now I just can't wait a second longer!!!!

A couple of photos of the 20-year old model (click on the picture to enlarge):

So who's gonna curse first?

I am waiting for CBS Sportsline to show the high-res photos... but maybe I should have lunch :P
Fuck! Why did it have to be Lucie as early as the 3rd?!?!?! I even liked the outfit this year...

*********************************************

Ok, I've had lunch (which at this hour is almost dinner) and I'm watching the Hamburg final to cheer me up... LOL. Still no high-res photos up on Sportsline. I've read Amélie's interview and she says she still has problems with adductors (which she injured training in Rome as I reported here) and that she's impatient to get back to best form.

*yawn* so the mess of a year I was talking about here seems to get even messier... *sobs*

OMG! Amélie is (really) playing at the French Open!

I saw parts of her two matches and I don't recall her playing so well on clay since Berlin 2004 or Rome 2005... after getting used to see her play so well on grass, it's nice to see how her game changes on clay. Much more spin, heavier forehands, hitting closer to the lines. It is similar to how she played in AO 2006 (*cough* ok I'll stop jinxing her)

And how much class does she have? Her game is so adaptable to every style and surface and still so beautiful *melts*

She deserves another high-res photo tribute.

Btw are you watching the daily France 2 videos? Today there's a nice one on ballboys with Amélie appearing at the beginning and at the end: at the end it's a must-see, she does a great face! LOL *love* Click here to see it :)

Ok, here's the high-res photos as promised.



And now my (medium-resolution) favorites from today:


*heart-eyes*


LMAO she looks clownish ^^


This one reminds me of when she was younger...

Amé starts great!

But still, I'm not overly-optimistic when she's so pumped up just to get to the 2nd round... I think she should preserve more energy if she wants to last two weeks :P



Below are some high-res photos from today's match:




Btw I love her new outfit :D it makes me wish she'd play long-sleeved even when it's warm ;) and purple is my favorite color *grin*

Pre-Roland Amélie... *eek*

Looks like I missed a few funny photos during my Internet-less weekend...












*scared* *scared* *scared*

And my favorite: looks like she's really into it. :)

Media WarmUp for Roland Garros...

L'Equipe has some Momo-goodies up on their website... a video interview from the yesterday's finals:

Tennis - Strasbourg - L Equipe
Malgré sa défaite en finale à Strasbourg face à l'Espagnole Anabel Medina Garrigues, Amélie Mauresmo est satisfaite de sa semaine.
