Congratulazoni Francesca!

Congratulations to first time Grand Slam Champion, Francesca Schiavone. Francesca defeated Sam Stosur (fresh off her impressive wins against Henin, Serena Williams, and Jankovic) to win the 2010 French Open title.

At age 29, she is a tour veteran who proved that skill, will, belief and a dream will get you very far. What a wonderful feel good sports story and history making win. She is the first female Italian tennis player to win a Grand Slam. Ben fatto!
