Veteran, Bethanie Mattek-Sands was the only American to win a grand slam title at the 2012 Australian Open! |
The state of American tennis isn’t very good these days, even though the near future would appear to be fairly bright for the good ‘ol U.S. of A.
Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Romania's Horia Tecau won the mixed doubles portion at the 2012 Australian Open. |
No American player won a grand slam title in 2009 and only Bethanie Mattek-Sands took home some hardware this season when she won the mixed doubles title with Romania ’s Horia Tecau, beating Elena Vesnina and Leander Paes 6-3, 5-7, 10-3 in the final.
It was the first Grand Slam victory ever for the 26-year-old Mattek-Sands, who is generally more known for her often outlandish outfits as she is for her on-court play.
