On The Rise

With Marion's favorite Roger Federer winning the French Open yesterday, there is added delight for the French Number 1 this Monday morning - She has risen one place to world No.12 in the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles ranking.

Marion went one round further this year at Roland Garros than in 2008, and is a benificiary of last year's champion Ana Ivanovic's fall of five places in the rankings. The Serbian lost in the fourth round.
