Francesca Schiavone: Gracious in Defeat
Francesca Schiavone did everything she could to foil Li Na and distract her but Li Na was steadfast, and deservedly won this year's French Open title. In her speech, Schiavo was very gracious and gave full compliments to her opponent's play today. Schiavone also had a fantastic tournament, and just reaching the finals is achievement enough. It shows that she has what it takes to defeat anyone in the draw, when it's on the clay. What I hope now is that she translates this second Grand Slam final appearance to the other surfaces. Other players have shown that it can be done, so I think she is capable of doing it too!
