Francesca Schiavone wins the French Open 2010 after successfully beating his opponent’s Samantha Stosur. Schiavone won 6-4 and 7-6.

Today is a special day for Italy. For the first time the country is more famous for its football players that had a women’s tennis player who became Grand Slam singles champion.

The two players who competed in the final both have never won a Grand Slam. The defeat Stosur is certainly a big disappointment for the seventh seed.

Schiavone in the game was actually more the underdog. Because, Stosur has a match record is better than Schiavone. Stosur on its way to the final overthrow Justine Henin, Serena Williams and Jelena Jankovic.

When Schiavone ensure victory, she immediately rolled over clay. She also kissed the ground which gave her the first degree.

In the age of 29 years, Francesca Schiavone became the oldest tennis player who won the first Grand Slam after Ann Jones, who won Wimbledon at age 30 in 1969.
