Mattek-Sands Stands Alone!

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.
