French Open Women's Final

MARIA HAS DONE IT

Chesty, told you I would get emotional, I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face.

Great performance by Maria, not just today but the whole tournament and she deserved it. And well done Errani, she played great and what a fairytale tournament for her.

Oh poor Errani, she looks so sad.

Tennisfan I always knew you loved the game that much and it's a joy to hear that it affects you in that way
It is a wonderful occasion isn't it.

I am so proud to have been able to witness her doing it, and not for me, not for her fans but for Maria Sharapova herself. What an excellent effort and her CV looks great now.

It really is a wonderful occasion Chesty. I'm so happy for her. And lovely to see Monica Seles who is looking good.

Great scenes at the ceremony. They announced Maria as the runner up and Errani celebrating her 'win'.

She lifts the trophy above her head and there isn't a dry eye in the place

A wonderful finish to an excellent tournament.

And now HER National Anthem

If I was tenez I would be embarassed to have come on this thread today and started trying to destroy a great thread.
He is a mor'on of enormous proportions, but we have learned to accept that he is here, and will NEVER go away

WELL DONE MARIA SHARAPOVA as her national anthem rings round our house

I'd forgotten Errani won the doubles yesterday so we have two slam winners up there.

Great performances. It's been a while since I enjoyed a ladies match so much.

And Maria charms the crowd by speaking French. Class act.

Yes Tennis, the french crowd got their dream winner today

Class act.

Well I have to be off. It's been fun. Great tennis, good company (well, mostly, just a little wobble in the middle

^^ and have a great saturday evening Tennis. Here in stavanger we have a famous Stavanger group called "Mods" playing about 400m from where I live and believe it or not we have the red arrows and dozens upon dozens of other planes ( big and small) doing their stuff at these kind of airshows.
Thanks for excellent company and well done to the OP for an excellent thread for the ladies
