Ciao, Schiavone? 2010 French Open champ unclear about future

PARIS (AP) There were moments during what might – or might not, depending on the day and her mood – have been 2010 champion Francesca Schiavone’s last French Open match that she got rather emotional at Court Philippe Chatrier.

”Definitely, when I played beautiful points, I looked around and saw the fans’ enthusiasm. That certainly was bellissima and took me back,” said the Italian, who also was the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2011. ”But I was more focused on the present than the past.”

Truth is, it’s the future that she finds most difficult to define.
