Podsumowując, finały w liczbach:

Justine Henin has won over 15 million dollars in her career. She picked up a cheque for 1 million euros today, the same amount of prize money that is up for stake for the winner of the men’s singles final on Sunday.

DUN I LOVE

Lepiej pozno niz wcale. Nie wiem jak to umknelo naszej uwadze ale ponad 4 miesace od zakonczenia turnieju zorientowalem sie ze nie wspomnielismy o prestizowych nagrodach Rg

Tak wiec slynna juz "Nagroda Pomaranczy" za gre fair i zachowanie an korcie budzace sympatii widzow otrzymal Roger Federer.

Natomiast zawodnik ktory zrobil najbardziej "kwasny" wizerunek swoim postepowaniem na placu gry to ... Paul - Henri Mathieu ;]

Rewelacja turnieju uznano Novaka Djokovicia

Oj nieladnie Paul

Oto wycinek artykulu na ten temat:

Roger was given the "Prix Orange" at the French Open this week, honoured for exhibiting fair play and being a good sport. It is already the third consecutive year for him to receive the award.

Novak Djokovic of Serbia, a 20-year-old who played Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals yesterday, won the "Prix Bourgeon" as the "revelation of the year," while Paul-Henri Mathieu of France was given the "Prix Citron" as "the personality that stands out ... the player with the most zest."
