Mauresmo Loses in Madrid
Ouch. That had to hurt. World number one, Amelie Mauresmo, played a horrible game against Nadia Petrova in the opening rounds of the WTA Championships in Madrid, Spain. The final score of that match was 6-2, 6-2, which is simply embarrassing for Mauresmo.
“There’s nothing to say about that match except it couldn’t get worse in the next couple of matches,” said Mauresmo, who played her first match since injuring her right shoulder last month. “It’s hard to say anything positive about a match like that. I speak better Spanish than I played today.”
Meanwhile, I bet she’s feeling Sharapova breathing down her neck. The Russian has been practically unstoppable since the U.S. Open, and once again she proved her worth against her fellow countrywoman, Elena Dementieva. The final match ended 6-1, 6-4.
Meanwhile, Justin Henin-Hardenne is back on the courts and defended her number 2 ranking by defeating Martina Hingis 6-2, 6-7.
Sharapova has her eyes on that number one rank, and it’s very possible that she might get it if Mauresmo doesn’t win this week, and if Justin Henin-Hardenne fails to reach the finals.
I wonder if Mauresmo’s nerves will be acting up? She’s got some serious pressure on her shoulders if she plans to end the season in the top spot.
