Mauresmo among three elected to Hall of Fame

Newport (United States) (AFP) - Former world number one Amelie Mauresmo of France, Australian wheelchair star David Hall and industry leader Nancy Jeffett were announced Monday as 2015 inductees into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

The trio will be enshrined July 18 during a ceremony at an ATP grasscourt tournament outside the Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, after receiving at least 75 percent support from a Hall selection committee.

"Amelie and David were both inspiring and highly accomplished competitors on the professional tours," Hall of Fame president Stan Smith said.

"Nancy's commitment to tennis has been integral to the growth of the sport and will leave a permanent positive impact on tennis for years to come. We look forward to celebrating their many accomplishments."

She was one of my fave players, and so great to deal with when she played in New Haven.
