After Francesca Schiavone became the first Italian woman to reach the French Open semifinals since 1954, she collapsed face-down on center court and kissed the clay. Schiavone upset No. 3-seeded Caroline Wozniacki in Tuesday's quarterfinals 6-2, 6-3. Seeded 17th, Schiavone is the first Italian woman to reach the semifinals at any Grand Slam tournament in the Open era, which began in 1968. "I'll tell you the truth: I can't grasp the historical nature of what I did," Schiavone said. "But the importance of this victory, in itself? Yes. ... I'm enjoying it so much. When you work a lot, hard every morning, every afternoon of your life, and arrive at a good result, I think you feel much more." http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/french10/news/story?id=5238261
