Amélie Mauresmo filed a complaint for harassment against her wife Marie-Bénédicte Hurel.
The trial took place discreetly this Tuesday at the Bayonne judicial court.
The former tennis player, in the process of divorcing, claims to have suffered humiliation, blackmail, and insults on a daily basis from his wife.
Marie-Bénédicte Hurel denies the facts
According to information from France Bleu Pays Basque, ten days of total incapacity for work (ITT) have been prescribed.
Marie-Bénédicte Hurel was placed in police custody last September.
She denies all the charges against her.
“The contested SMS messages do not amount to harassment at all, but a simple discussion on daily management,” declared his lawyers Thierry Sagardoytho and Marie-Thérèse Hougneu.
Me Sagardoytho even denounces an “instrumentalization of an artificial complaint in the perspective of divorce”.
Ten months suspended prison sentence was requested against her.
She will be judged on February 13.

Amélie Mauresmo and Marie-Bénédicte Hurel, together for years and mothers of two children, got married recently, in 2021. The former sportswoman filed for divorce last year.
His life with his wife has become “hell” since their union.
