When I finished the juniors I felt, perhaps for about a year and a half, that everything was going to be the same and that I would be able to go out there and win any match. But it wasn't the case. I struggled. It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors. It was three years between the junior ranks and reaching the Australian Open, and even then, having reached the final against Hingis, I wasn't really realising what it would take to go higher.

Amelie MauresmoI think you always have, you know, new players. Every year you see new faces, juniors coming into the seniors. I was one of them at the time long time ago now.
Amelie MauresmoYou have to adjust to where you are but the French are all together - the guys and the women. It's good.
Amelie MauresmoMy coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.
