Forget lambasts absent Mauresmo

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/4019727.stm

France captain Guy Forget has attacked Amelie Mauresmo over her withdrawal
from this month's Fed Cup finals.

"I can't believe she did this," Forget said about the world number two in
an interview in sports daily L'Equipe.

"Until the very last minute I tried to make her change her mind but her
answer was negative."

Mauresmo pulled out saying she needs to rest and prepare for next season.
Title-holders France play Spain in the semi-finals on 24 and 25 November.

She said: "There is a time in your career when tough choices have to be
made if you want to aim at the top.

"I want to start next season in the best possible physical shape."

Forget had named experienced Mary Pierce and Nathalie Dechy alongside
teenager Tatiana Golovin, and he called up Marion Bartoli to replace
Mauresmo on Tuesday.

"I can understand her point of view even if I know she is in great
physical shape at the moment," he said.

"What frustrates me is that the Fed Cup is no longer a target for
her.

"I'm not interested in leading a squad made up of players who turn up
when they feel like it."

In the other semi-final, hosts Russia, the strong title favourites,
face Austria. The final takes place on 27 and 28 November.
