PARIS (AP) Two Americans celebrating a title in Paris is not such a common sight.
That scene will take place on Saturday night when Whitney Osuigwe, who became only the fifth U.S. player to win the girls’ title at the French Open on Saturday, takes her losing opponent out for dinner.
The 15-year-old from Florida defeated Claire Liu 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-3 in the second ever all-American final at Roland Garros.
”I think actually me and Claire are going to go into the town and we’re going to go to dinner,” said Osuigwe, who became the ninth-youngest girls’ champion at the French Open, at 15 years, 1 month, 24 days – just over one month older than Justine Henin when she won in 1997.
