 PARIS (AP) - Amelie Mauresmo usually faults her mind-set after French Open failures. This time, she blamed her body for a third-round loss. Mauresmo was unable to do what another two-time Grand Slam champion hampered by an injury, Maria Sharapova, successfully managed Saturday: deal with pain, set aside a lack of proper preparation and beat a less-experienced opponent.
The fifth-seeded Mauresmo blew a 3-0 lead in each set and lost to No. 25 Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 7-6 (3), the latest in a string of early exits at Roland Garros for the Frenchwoman.
"Well, it's disappointing," Mauresmo said when asked where this ranks among her French Open setbacks. "As disappointing? No, because, again, coming here, this year especially, I didn't expect really great things to happen."
