Amelie Mauresmo wanted before this meeting, which measures the gap separating it from the top level. It is clear that she has not yet even if the second round to face Svetlana Kuznetsova, her doubles partner, holds out hope. But the French, who no longer fought for Top 5 for a year, has never been able to overcome the head serial number 2. The first set was transferred to the lesson between Mauresmo who bafouillait his tennis, by the doubts crispée who live for several months already, and Kuznetsova powerful and precise. The 6-1 score reflects the influence of Russian sank while Mauresmo (only 36% of points earned on his first service).
