Virginie Razzano (ranked #111) pulled one of the biggest upsets in WTA history in this year's French Open when she defeated 13-time grand slam champion Serena Williams in the first round of a slam. That has NEVER happened before to Serena! On paper, Serena should've easily defeated the veteran Frenchwoman, but Razzano apparently had tenacity and gumption at her sleeve and held off oh-so-many matchpoints while she was cramping!! I really thought Serena would eventually pull through, like she usually does but Virginie just won't let go!
