Allez Amelie!! Looking good, hopefully feeling fine.
And let’s hear it for the amazing Virginie Razzano, taking Hingis down in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, the biggest win of her career! What a wonderful story, a very sweet interview afterwards on court (despite her limited English), and I couldn’t be more delighted for her.
And the French are doing just fine over all, Pierce and Golovin are also through in straight sets.
ALLEZ!!
