WTA ANTWERP: MAURESMO SPARKLES

by

Just a quick update from Belgium. Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo rose to the occasion amidst a partisan crowd to deny hometown favorite Kim Clijsters 6-4 7-6 (7-5) a victorious farewell in one hour and 48 minutes. This is Clijster’s last match in Belgium before her retirement.

It is Mauresmo’s third victory in the Proximus Diamond Games which means that she just earned the much coveted prize, a diamond-studded tennis racket worth 1 million euros ($1.3 million), awarded to the first player to win the tournament in any five-year span.

Mauresmo beat Dinara Safina and Anna Chakvetadze on her way to the finals.
