Costa: 'The most difficult thing is to believe in yourself.' A Matter of Perspective Albert Costa hadn't won a tournament since 1999. He had never been past the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam. But after his twin girls were born he started to relax, Curry Kirkpatrick writes. The result was Costa winning his first Slam by beating Juan Carlos Ferrero in four sets at the French Open on Sunday. It's Serena's Slam On Saturday, Serena finally won when it mattered, Curry Kirkpatrick writes. Serena outplayed Venus 7-5, 6-3 to win the first Paris title between the two.
