07/08/06 - GREENVILLE, SC – In an inspiring comeback win in the Ladies’ Singles Finals at Wimbledon, Amelie Mauresmo displayed the fortitude that, once and for all, affirms her status as a world champion. Mauresmo, who now has 23 WTA TOUR singles championships to her credit, served-and-volleyed her way to victory with the power of Dunlop ‘s M-Fil 300 racquet, defeating Justine Henin-Hardenne in three sets after dropping the first set of the match.

According to Steve Hall, Director of Marketing – Racquet Sports, Dunlop Sports Group Americas, “The stars were aligned today: the tennis world’s #1 stage; the world’s #1 ranked female WTA TOUR player; and the first time in 81 years that a French woman has won at Wimbledon. The Dunlop Sport family could not be happier for Amelie, who—together with her championship at this year’s Australian Open—has proven her place among tennis greats.”

Hall remarked, “We are pleased that Amelie continues to rely on Dunlop as she displays the power and heart of a true champion. Everyone who appreciates great tennis salutes the quality of this Championship match,” Hall concluded.
