This was the most lopsided women's final in Paris since 1988, when Steffi Graf defeated Natasha Zvereva, 6-0, 6-0. That rout lasted just 32 minutes, and this one would have lasted less than an hour, too, if Pierce had not taken so much time and so many deep breaths between serves.
"I'm sad because I lost, which is normal when you lose," Pierce said, when she was finally able to make her remarks to the crowd. "But I wanted to play a better match. I'm sorry. It didn't last very long." -International Herald Tribune
Hmmm. That was harsh.
