Mauresmo advances at French Open

PARIS (AP)—Amelie Mauresmo held her nerve and her serve when it counted Tuesday, reaching the second round of the French Open by beating Olga Savchuk 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 in a match disrupted by rain.

Mauresmo, who missed both the Italian and German Opens because of a rib injury, looked shaky much of her time on center court.

“The problem was my serve because I have a minor injury,” said Mauresmo, who won the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2006.

The start of play Tuesday was delayed 2 hours, 50 minutes because of rain,

Mauresmo, who has never gotten past the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, was broken in her first two service games, and then again while serving for the first set at 5-4.

Leading 6-5 and again serving for the set, the Frenchwoman double-faulted for the fourth of her nine times to give her Ukrainian opponent a break point, but Mauresmo saved it with a backhand winner. She won the set when Savchuk sent a forehand into the net.

In the second set, Savchuk jumped to a 2-0 lead, but Mauresmo got back to 2-2 before the rain. When they came back on court, each player held serve until Savchuk broke Mauresmo while leading 5-4.

Mauresmo dominated the third set by winning four straight games at the start.

I thought it would be a perfect time to create a match thread for our dear Ame.
It's her opening match at this year's RG and her first match after ages.
I am confident (as one can be in the state I'm at at the moment ) she is going to do well this time.
I'd also like to ask someone to wake me up when the match starts ...Thank you!
I am also curious to see her new outfit
Will it be white, will it be blue, will it be red, I have no clue...(shit, it rhymes )


(I'd post a pic but it's far too complicated...)

ALLEZ AME!!! Your children need you

p.s. Who is Olga?
