Aussies in Paris
Americans, especially American men, may have trouble playing on the clay at Roland Garros, but Australia had a few bright spots amidst the rain clouds over the 2007 French Open. Former top-tenner, Alicia Molik, on the comeback trail from a serious inner ear illness that sidelined her for a year, captured the women’s doubles title at Roland Garros. At the same time, Aussie
Junior, Greg Jones, reached the finals of the Junior Boys’ tournament. As Patrick Rafter showed during his career by reaching the French Open semis, aggressive players can have success at the French Open. As with the ball person exchange program between the two Grand Slams, there are clearly friendly ties between France and Australia.
