Amelie is smiling again...
Two years ago, Amelie Mauresmo was the number one tennis player in the world, the first openly gay woman to hold the top ranking since Martina Navratilova last did in 1987. Amelie won Wimbledon and the Australian Open that year before going into a tailspin and falling out of the top 20.
But this photo, showing the French star smiling before a national flag, is just lovely and her relaxed smile could hint that she's ready for another run at the top. The photo was snapped during the draw for the Fed Cup World Group play-off between Japan and France in Tokyo on Friday. The play-off will be held this weekend.

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
