Mauresmo back on track?!

It's not that a 500th singles career win is something that happens everyday - far from it.

There are not many of the currently active stars on the WTA tour that have reached that career milestone. Neither the Williams sisters Venus (485 wins) and Serena (369), nor Justine Henin (492), for example.

But I'm sure it’s one of those things Amélie Mauresmo wasn't thinking about at all when she finally closed out an exciting three set-match against Agnieszka Radwanska with a crosscourt backhand winner yesterday at Bausch & Lomb Championships.
Some other facts will have been of much more importance for the 28-year-old Frenchwoman. When she had been up 5:2 in the final set, Mauresmo dropped two match points and the following three games. She then came back from 3:5 in the tiebreak, saving a match point of Radwanska at 5:6 then for her part.
The 3:6, 7:5, 7:6 was her third win in a row since Wimbledon 2007 and the victory over the best ranked opponent in 2008.

At least for the moment, those things seem to be what really matters for Mauresmo, who never reached her good shape from before an appendix surgery in spring 2007 again over the last months – she mainly lacked of match practice. It looks like the former World No. 1 is back on track now.
