FASHION FIX: Cornet feeling confident in game, looking confident in Lacoste

Alize Cornet is a lady in waiting. France's new teen queen had her match with Argentina's Gisela Dulko suspended due to darkness with the match tied at 3-all in the third set.

And even though she's only 18-years old Alize has made the cover of France's biggest sports mag L'Equipe this week and told the publication she knows her time at Roland Garros will come...maybe not this year but soon:

Roland Garros is winnable for me one day, but not this year. Mentally and physically, it's too soon to be able to manage a tournament like this for an 18-year-old, but I'm learning. Why not next year, or in two years? I can wait five years, 10 years, 20 years -- the important thing is to win it someday. That would be incredible.

It doesn't sound like Alize is lacking in confidence and it shows in her fashion too. She's working a youthful, flirty outfit by Lacoste which showcases her natural exuberance. And even though Gisela is wearing a similar outfit in their match, Alize's accents of red put her over. A winner for sure.

THE LOW DOWN: Is it curtains for Mauresmo?

The end of the road: Amelie Mauresmo, who I think is on the fast train to retirementville, was interviewed by French sports paper L'Equipe recently and discussed the state of her game and whether it's time to call it quits on her tennis career. Speaking to the paper after her second round defeat in the Qatar Open this week, the former No. 1 said,

I want to keep on playing but at the same time I am wondering if it’s the right thing to do, [...] Just as soon as I get the feeling back that I am heading in the right direction, I get another heavy defeat like that. It’s been like that for the last few months. Obviously at some point that leaves you wondering whether it might be best just to pack it all in. [...] Obviously at some point that leaves you wondering whether it might be best just to pack it all in. But we are not quite there yet. For the moment I still want to keep trying.

Yes, of course she should keep trying but at the same time Amelie, who now sits at No. 22 in the rankings, needs to be realistic about her prospects. The 2-time Grand Slam champ was never a mental giant even during her best playing years, and those are most definitelty behind her now.
