Maria Sharapova, Champion
I don't think that I did believe Sharapova could ever win the French title.I could admit it was possible if all the pieces fell into place.Well there she is.And she earned it.She came back from surgery, and disappointing results and completed the career Grand Slam.She has placed herself in elite company.
Good for her,and for tennis.
She gets tons of attention for her glamour.Many non tennis fans know who she is.I'm sure there are a number of people who would tune in just to watch her.I'm not really filled with warmth for that crowd, but I understand.
But this is not a model.This is a tennis champion who is going into the Hall of Fame.
( notice how I didn't mention the horrible screaming )
Sara Errani.That was an amazing run to the final.It's always fun to see those stories.She and Roberta Vinci did win the doubles.Italian women's tennis is doing mighty fine in Paris.
A few ouches.
Li Na; didn't really expect her to repeat.
Kuznetsova; just spaced out in the match she lost.
Stosur; I bet she'd like to kick herself sometimes.She could have had the whole thing.
Dominika Cibulkova.If you want to sound like a pissy sore loser,go ahead and say your opponent played like a man.Not cool actually.
