News from France is all about the World Cup loss, but don’t forget that Amelie Mauresmo won her first title at Wimbledon on Saturday, beating Justine Henin-Hardenne in the final. She’s long been dogged by talk of her nerves when it comes to big matches, but she bounced back from a first set loss and won handidly. YouTube’s got up clips of the whole match (from French TV, no less. Incroyable!), but click here for the video of the last nine minutes and hot-stuff Mauresmo’s match point. Couldn’t of happened to a nicer—or more ripped—lady.
