French Finale for Francesca

Nothing’s official yet. But it’s almost certain Wednesday’s women’s doubles quarterfinal match was the Roland Garros swan song for 2010 women’s singles champion Francesca Schiavone.

She didn’t go out a winner.

But she and partner Kirsten Flipkens had a great tournament.

They rolled through their first three matches before bowing out to No. 1 seeds Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova 6-2, 6-4.

Schiavone turns 37 in a few weeks.

She went through this event with a huge smile on her face, and ended it grinning ear-to-ear.
