Miss Lopez News: first italian woman, Schiavone, winner at Roland Garros in Paris


Hi!. I’m watching Roland Garros when Rafa Nadal and the swedish Soderling are playing. Let’s see who is the winner of the men tournament. But yesterday, for the first time in history at Roland Garros tournament in Paris an italian woman wins. Since Open tennis began at Roland Garros in 1968, only three players who have won titles could be considered more improbable finalists than she was: Sue Barker in 1976, Mima Jausovec in 1977 and Virginia Ruzici in 1978, and all of those players won in years when a number of the top players could not attend because they were competing in World Team Tennis. But while Schiavone may have been a long shot to everyone else, she never counted herself out of her day in the Parisian sunshine. “I really always dreamed of this tournament,” she said. “It’s strange to say it, but when I called my Daddy, he said to me: ‘I remember that you always dreamed about this one’. Every morning that you wake up, you work to do something like this. So maybe it was far away in the reality, but [in the heart, it was] never far away.” Indeed, it was closer than she ever imagined…I hope from now she is going to believe more in herself ’cause she worth it.
You can make it too!. Follow your dreams and Feelgood
Ciao!
