Schiavone revels in her French Open win
"Stosur trades at [14.0] for victory at Wimbledon, Schiavone at [50.0]"
Italian bucks the odds to pull off surprise win at Roland Garros
Francesca Schiavone was backed at a high of [320.0] on Betfair's tournament winner market on her way to an upset result at this year's French Open.
The Italian beat Australian Samantha Stosur 6-4, 7-6 in the final today to land the second Grand Slam of the year. Schiavone was backed at a high of [6.2] to win the match and [22.0] to do so in straight sets.
The Australian went into the match as a warm favourite after upsetting first and second seeds Justine Henin and Serena Williams earlier in the week. But Stosur had no answer to Schiavone's tenacity putting in a limp display in the second set tie-break as her dream ended at the last stage.
Both players now have two weeks to recharge their batteries before the third Slam of the year - Wimbledon on June 21. Stosur trades at [14.0] for victory in England, Schiavone at [50.0].
