Nadia Petrova denied Amelie Mauresmo a number 1 spot. She will have to wait another week. I wasn’t expecting it. Good on you Petrova.

Meanwhile Rafael Nadal defeats Federer one more time. He now has a 3-1 record versus Federer. Perfect come back for Nadal. First defeat for Federer in the year and a build up to a possible long term rivalry for men’s tennis. The clay season with the climax at Roland Garros will certainly be engrossing.

Amelie Mauresmo has had to wait for her first grand slam title as CNN reports:

Mauresmo had the second-longest wait for her first major title in the Open era, taking 32 Grand Slam tournaments to win a final — Jana Novotna won Wimbledon in 1998, in her 45th major.

What has to be seen for the future is whether she can reach the No. 1 spot again in her career. That all can wait and the sweetness of success can be enoyed for the moment though.
