Juan Carlos Ferrero
Juan Carlos Ferrero won his first Grand Slam title.
 
Crowning Achievement
Juan Carlos Ferrero finally became king of the French Open, Greg Garber writes. Ferrero eliminated Martin Verkerk with the most lopsided victory in 25 years 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. Despite losing, Verkerk talked like a champion afterward because of his surprising appearance in the final. It's not unusual to find unlikely finalists on clay, Garber writes.

    Skill Over Size  

     
    Justine Henin She's only 5-foot-5, 126 pounds, but Justine Henin-Hardenne sliced her way to the French Open title, Greg Garber writes, as Kim Clijsters' nerves showed in the 6-0, 6-4 win Saturday. Earlier, Henin-Hardenne upset Serena Williams' streak. But don't worry, Serena and her sister will be back.
