SALT LAKE CITY, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- USANA Health
Sciences congratulates its Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Brand
Ambassador, Kristina Mladenovic on her recent Roland Garros
success, as she captured her first Grand Slam doubles title over
the weekend. Mladenovic and doubles partner Caroline Garcia defeated No. 7 seeds
Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina
in three gripping sets 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 to become the first all-French
pair to win their native Slam since 1971.
"We are extremely proud of Kristina and what she has
accomplished in her young career," said USANA Chief Communications
Officer Dan Macuga. "It has been a privilege to work alongside her
and watch her excel during her most successful year to date."
Capping an extremely successful clay court season, the French
athlete has also captured three WTA titles with Garcia in the past
two months — including back-to-back final wins over reigning co-No.
1's Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza. Mladenvoic currently holds 16
doubles WTA doubles titles, including two mixed Grand Slam titles
from the Australian Open (2014) and Wimbledon (2013) with
Daniel Nestor.
"It's never logical to win a Grand Slam," Mladenovic said in
their post-match press conference. "It's never obvious. You
know, you don't win a Grand Slam every single day — two young
French women players who win Roland Garros. So there are the big
tournaments that we have already won, which is a good success in
itself, but, you know, winning a Grand Slam, and here in Roland
Garros, it's ten steps above what is logical or normal."
USANA also commends Brand Ambassador Samantha Stosur on an
impressive run in women's singles where she made it to the
semifinals before falling to Garbiñe Muguruza in straight sets 6-2,
6-4.
