Mauresmo Wins

Amelie Mauresmo took her second Grand Slam title of the year after faltering during her first set of the 2006 Women’s Wimbledon Final. She cam out to a rocky start falling 2-6 in the first set to Justine Henin-Hardenne.

Mauresmo became the first Frenchwoman to win Wimbledon since 1925 (Suzanne Lenglen). Her first set it appeared as though her nerves were getting the best of her as she stood at Centre Court on the biggest stage in tennis. But Amelie Mauresmo came charging back in the second and third sets to take over the match and win 6-3, 6-4.

Congratulations Amelie Mauresmo.
