Incidentally, back on May 20th, Martina beat Venus in Rome and won title
For the first time since 2001, Marina Hinges beat Venus Williams: 0-6 6-3 6-3 in the semi-finals of the Italian Open.
Martina the next day defeated Dinara Safina 6-2 7-5 to claim her 41st career singles title, more than four years after claiming her 40th. (Me myself personally, I wouldn't click on that link for Dinara's stats: the WTA site must be getting a grazillion hits now during the French Open. But if you've got lots of time and patience . . ..)
Guess who's huffed up for Roland Garros?
