Amelie Wins!!

Amélie Mauresmo won her first Grand Slam title, the 2006 Australian Open tennis championship by defeating 4-time major champ Justine Henin-Hardenne 6-1, 2-0 (ret). Although most commentators gave bad reviews to the Belgian player's decision to quit the match due to a "sick stomach." She called for the trainer at 0-2 in the second set, but then after telling the doctor that she "had no energy" she played two more points and then retired. Although the fans were disappointed, it was clear from the very start of the match that Mauresmo was the better player today, and the much vaunted "battle of the backhands" became a blow out. Vive La France!
