Number 21 seed Sara Errani has wins
over Casey Dellacqua, Melanie Oudin, #13 Ana Ivanovic, #26 Svetlana Kuznetsova,
and #10 Angelique Kerber in the quarterfinals. Errani also beat #6 Samantha
Stosur in the semifinals.
Sharapova beat Petra Kvitova,
ranked fourth, in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals to claim the top
spot and confirmed her berth the finals. This is Sharapova's first appearance
in the finals at Roland Garros. Though she has won grand slam titles on other
courts, she has struggled on the clay surface.
Sharapova hasn’t won a grand slam
since the 2008 Australian Open; but she has the titles of Australian,
Wimbledon, and U.S. Opens on her credit.
Both the finalists are 25 years old
and both were raised to play tennis in the state of Florida at a young age,
leaving their native homes to hunt commendation in the sport they had been
gifted in from birth.
Sharapova and Errani have never played before; therefore, it will take some
time to figure each other out but expect a war of erosion. Expect three sets
with multiple game points, possibly even match points. Most of all, expect the
winner to explode in joy when the match is over.
This tournament has been exciting for both
Errani and Sharapova. And the winner deserves all the admiration she will get.
