Amelie gets the jewels
ANTWERP, Belgium — Top-seeded Amelie Mauresmo beat Venus Williams 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 Sunday to win the Diamond Games, denying the American a $1.3 million gemencrusted racket.
Williams, who complained afterward of a stomach injury, needed to beat Mauresmo to win the gold-and-diamond trophy, which goes to the first three-time winner in any five-year span. Since she won the title two of the last four years, Williams will have another shot at the trophy next year.
Roddick withdraws; Carlsen wins
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Unseeded Kenneth Carlsen upset eighth-seeded Max Mirnyi 7-5, 7-5 Sunday for the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships title, his third ATP championship overall and first since 2002.
Carlsen reached the final when Andy Roddick, the world’s No. 3 player, withdrew before their semifinal Saturday with a sprained left ankle.
