Amelie Mauresmo finished? Not on your life!

Whenever a player has to endure an injury, one of the first things spectators begin to wonder is, will they be able to make a triumphant return to the tour?

Even the world's best players struggle to return to top form after recouperating from an injury. But will former No. 1, Amelie Mauresmo, be able to return to the top of the game, after having an appendectomy?

When a player misses as much time as Mauresmo has, the level of play changes drastically, and it's hard for a player to re-adopt their game to the new level. Since late last year Amelie has been less than impressive, and it's hard to tell if she can make a successful return.

Mauresmo experienced the best season of her career in 2006, and spectators across the globe finally saw her reach her true potential. Critics always assumed her nerves would get the better of her, and she would always fall short on the biggest stages. She finally stormed through a strong field at the Australian Open to claim her first Grand Slam. She finally made it clear that her nerves weren’t an issue, and went on to win her second major, Wimbledon.
