French Open 2010: Francesca Schiavone savours life at top table with rise in rankings

bit.ly Francesca Schiavone will on Monday become the oldest woman in 12 years to break into the top 10 for the first time, having defeated Samantha Stosur in Saturday’s French Open final. The Italian, who is two weeks short of her 30th birthday, is expected to be ranked sixth after winning a major at her 39th attempt. At 29, Schiavone also became the oldest woman for 41 years to win her first grand slam title, by defeating Stosur 6-4, 7-6. The 17th seed also became the first Italian woman to win a grand slam, an achievement which was recognised by her president Giorgio Napolitano, who telephoned with congratulations moments after the match ended. (Incidentally, the only other time Roland Garros has been won by a woman not seeded in the top 10 was in 1933.) Schiavone is now intending to revert to a life a little more low key, returning home to see her parents — “usually we have a good dinner or good lunch, 10 people,” she explained — but inevitably her thoughts will drift to Wimbledon, and whether she can now become the first woman in eight years to win the French Open and Wimbledon back to back. Having reached the quarter-finals at the All England Club for the first time last year, defeating 2007 runner-up Marion Bartoli en route to the final eight, Schiavone sees no reason why she cannot continue her recent success. “Why should it finish?” she said. “When you have success, you should have others. It should become something continual. You can’t win one thing and then …
