Mauresmo Defeats Dushevina at Roland-Garros

Well, after the Kiefer/Gicquel match went into over-over-over time (I was truly convinced it would never, ever end), I missed the first set of the Mauresmo/Dushevina match, but I was there for the second.
Mauresmo defeated Dushevina after going into a tiebreaker in the second set. The final score was 6-1, 7-6.

Sharapova Defeats Benesova at French Open

That was a fast match! Sharapova defeated Benesova in two sets with a final score of 6-4, 6-1.
Mauresmo is playing a little later and I’m hoping they show the whole thing (or I’ll scream loudly at the TV).

Dechy Defeats Foretz at French Open

Natalie Dechy has just defeated Stephanie Foretz at the French Open. The final score between the two is 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
I only managed to catch the final set because France likes to favor the men’s games so they only squeeze the women in when they feel like it. Next year, I’m just going to have […]

Nineteen-year-old Maria Kirilenko has been attracting some serious attention from the high fashion world, even beating out Russian beauties Kournikova and Sharapova.
