Can Amelie Mauresmo fight her way back to the top?

There is no denying that French superstar Amelie Mauresmo is one of the greatest women tennis players in her country's history.

She’s had her fair share of ups and downs, and sometimes her consistency is a big issue. But in the last year her level of play has drastically diminished, which poses the question; what is next for the tenacious Mauresmo? Will she be able to return to the world's most elite?

For such a long time, Mauresmo was referred to as a player who let her nerves get the best of her. But in 2006 she proved all of her critics wrong when she stormed her way through a tough Australian Open draw to claim her first Grand Slam crown.

Because she won by default in the Australian Open final, when Justine Henin retired, some spectators assumed her victory was nothing but a fluke. Even though she fell early on the clay of Paris, she bounced back and dominated the hallowed lawns of Wimbledon to hoist her second Grand Slam trophy. She even made a run to the U.S Open semi-finals.
