	Mauresmo wins first Grand Slam title - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Mauresmo had the second-longest wait for her first major title in the Open era, taking 32 Grand Slam tournaments to win a final.
		Henin-Hardenne, who has four Grand Slam singles titles and was on a 13-match winning streak at Melbourne Park, burst into tears when she reached a courtside chair after quitting.
		Federer won the Australian title in 2004 and was upset in the semifinals by eventual champion Marat Safin last year.

	AfterEllen.com - Amelie Mauresmo Wins Her First Grand Slam Title
		The last time Mauresmo played in a Grand Slam final was seven years ago, when she lost to Swiss player Martina Hingis, who famously called Mauresmo a "half man", in reference to her broad shoulders and her not-so-secret sexual orientation.
		In September of 2004, she became the top-ranked women's player in the world, but was not considered by some to be worthy of the title because she was the only woman to have ever held that position without winning a Grand Slam title.
		The only sour note to Mauresmo's win at the Australian Open was the fact that Henin-Hardenne retired with stomach pain before the match was finished, so that Mauresmo "did not win her first grand slam title in the way she deserved", as Australia's The Age opined.

	Moya eyes second Grand Slam title
		Carlos Moya is fit, in form and utterly convinced he is now a better all-round player than when he won the French Open as a fearless 21-year-old back in 1998.
		Moya fulfilled a long and dearly held ambition by claiming his first title on home soil with victory over Marat Safin in the final of the Barcelona Open on Sunday.
		The charismatic Mallorcan will now look to use that success as a springboard for another Grand Slam title and a crack at the number one world ranking by the year's end.

	Dominant Mauresmo wins 1st Grand Slam title
		Though she went on to win 19 tournaments and rise briefly to No. 1 in the rankings in 2004, she became unable to conquer her nerves or her rivals in the Grand Slam tournaments as she lost nine quarterfinals and three semifinals.
		She had swept to the title in Sydney earlier this month and had played gutsy, deeply convincing tennis in the semifinals to defeat Maria Sharapova in three hard-running, hard-hitting sets.
		But it was clear from the start of this final that all was not right, as she made unforced errors in bunches and put only 29 percent of her first serves into play in the first set.

	Venus Williams wins first Grand Slam title
		She hadn't expected her first Slam title would come in mixed doubles, she said, "but I always thought it would be fun to play mixed.
		In her fourth Grand Slam, Williams eliminated her sister in the second round before falling to No. 2 seed Lindsay Davenport in the singles quarterfinals.
		She and her brother won at Wimbledon in 1996 and 1997 and in the French Open in 1991.

	Federer primed for fifth Grand Slam title
		With three of the four Grand Slam titles in his possession, a huge lead at the top of the world rankings and victories in his past 14 finals, Roger Federer enters next week's Australian Open as one of the hottest favourites in the tournament's 100-year history.
		After winning 11 titles in 2004 with his flowing all-court game, Federer returns to Melbourne Park where he won the event for the first time 12 months ago by beating Russian Marat Safin in a one-sided final.
		Some people questioned what Roche could add to a man whose three Grand Slam titles in 2004 were all won without a coach, and even Federer seemed unsure about how their relationship will work.

		Federer is drawing comparisons to Pete Sampras, who won 14 Grand Slams in his career and was the last man to win three consecutive majors (Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1993, and the Australian Open in '94).
		Their birthdays are four days apart, and they won their seventh Grand Slams at the same age.

	IOL: Federer excels with seventh Grand Slam title
		For Federer it is the 14 Grand Slam titles of Sampras.
		He defended Wimbledon when his performance in the final against Roddick was rated one of the finest ever at the All-England club and became the first man to win both that tournament and the US Open in consecutive years since Don Budge in 1938.
		Laver, the only player to win the Grand Slam of the four majors twice, in 1962 and 1969, believes Federer still has plenty more majors in him.

	Mauresmo breaks grand slam title drought. 28/01/2006. ABC News Online
		French third seed Amelie Mauresmo won her first grand slam title this afternoon, snaring the Australian Open after her eighth seeded opponent Justine Henin-Hardenne of Belgium retired sick.
		The win, which came when the scores were 6-1, 2-0 in Mauresmo's favour, makes up for her devastating loss in the 1999 final, when she lost to Martina Hingis.
		She was totally dominating an out-of-sorts Henin-Hardenne before the French Open champion and four-time grand slam winner retired 52 minutes into what had been one of the most lopsided finals in the tournament's recent history.

		Then Mauresmo straightened up and gave herself a little talking-to, deciding that this was the moment to cast off the burden of being known as a player who couldn't come through when it counted.
		Holding her serve and her nerve down the stretch, Mauresmo came back to beat Justine Henin-Hardenne 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday to win Wimbledon for her second Grand Slam title - and first that she got to celebrate properly.

		Mauresmo willingly dissected and discussed her problems dealing with pressure, acknowledging it as a factor in her 13 losses in quarterfinals or semifinals at Grand Slams.
		In January, Mauresmo's Australian semifinal ended when her opponent stopped because of an injury, and then came the anticlimactic final, so the issue of her fragile mental state lingered.
