Schiavone makes history in Paris

Francesca Schiavone produced another inspired display of all-court tennis in today's French Open final to become the first Italian woman to win a Grand Slam.

Schiavone stunned hot favourite Samantha Stosur on Philippe Chatrier Court to win one of the best women's finals of recent times 6-4 7-6 (7/2) in one hour and 38 minutes.
