Amelie Mauresmo (pictured) and Justine Henin-Hardenne played a rematch of the Australian Open final in January, when Henin-Hardenne quit in the second set with stomach problems.
Justine Henin-Hardenne lost despite having more winners (31-28) and fewer unforced errors (22-20) than Amelie Mauresmo.
Amelie Mauresmo won 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday for just her second Grand Slam title.
After the win, Amelie Mauresmo put on a T-shirt that read: "2006 Wimbledon Champion. I am what I am."
