Bulgare, elle devient Manuela Maleeva-Fragniere à la suite de son mariage, le 28 novembre 1987, avec le joueur de tennis suisse François Fragniere. Elle jouera sous les couleurs suisses à partir de 1990. Née à Sofia, Manuela Maleeva est l'aînée d'une famille dont les ancêtres maternels (d'éminents Arméniens) se sont réfugiés en Bulgarie à la suite des massacres hamidiens de 1894-1896 dans l'Empire ottoman. Sa mère, Yulia Berberian, excellente joueuse de tennis dans les années 1960, décide au milieu des années 1970 de devenir entraîneur et prend successivement en charge ses trois filles, Manuela, Katerina et Magdalena : elle les conduira toutes au sommet de l'élite internationale. En 1982, Manuela Maleeva remporte le tournoi de Roland-Garros junior. La même année, elle effectue ses débuts sur le circuit WTA : sa progression s'avère aussi régulière que rapide. Dès 1984, elle intègre le top 10 mondial qu'elle ne quittera quasiment plus jamais jusqu'à sa retraite sportive dix saisons plus tard. Le 4 février 1985, elle se hisse même au 3 rang, juste derrière Martina Navrátilová et Chris Evert. En 41 partipations, elle atteint deux fois les demi-finales dans une épreuve du Grand Chelem (à l'US Open en 1992 et 1993), douze fois les quarts et huit fois le 4 tour. C'est précisément à l'US Open qu'elle signe en 1984 son unique victoire dans un Majeur, en double mixte aux côtés de l'Américain Tom Gullikson. R...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
