Thankfully Justine is picking up the gauntlet where she leaves off. As is true with many of the greats and 'near' greats of the game, Amelie was her 'own worst enemy' in terms of not being able to consistently master her 'mental game'. Far too many 'walk abouts' occurred on her watch; they became almost 'de rigeur' (expected), and so sad for such a great talent. Vous nous manquez deja et toujours!!! Prenez une grande vacance et, peut-etre, retournez pour qu'on peut dire encore 'ALLONS-Y!!!' Beaucoup remerciements et tres bonne chance avec votre choix! A la prochaine!

But, she's had a long career (17 years) and it's time for her to step back and take a good look at her life. Though, she may end up making a comeback in a year or two...it's popular these days.

When she played well, which was more often than not, it was like watching a fine ballet. Best wishes to her in any and all of her future endeavors.
