PARIS, France (Sat, Jun 09) – Newly crowned world number one Maria Sharapova will face Italy's Sara Errani, who entered the tournament ranked No. 21 in the world, but cruised into finals beating two former champions at Roland Garros, along with two top 10 players.

French Open 2012 (Women's Final): Maria Sharapova vs Sara Errani -- Live Streaming and Updates

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.

US Open Final: Serena Williams Lost the Match and Temperament -- Watch Video Williams Arguing with Chair Umpire

NEW YORK - Serena Williams, winner of 13 Grand Slam titles and the hot favorite coming into the match, lost her cool with chair umpire during US Open Final against Australian Samantha Stosur. Cool, calm and composed Stosur beat Williams 6-2, 6-3. 

Serena Williams Arguing with Chair Umpire During Final of US Open 2011

According to details; during Sunday's U.S. Open final, Serena Williams lost her temperament with a chair umpire, who penalized her for celebrating before a point was concluded. 

While trying to avoid a break point at the start of the second set Sunday night, Williams smashed a forehand that she celebrated with her well-known style screaming "Come on!" 

The chair umpire was of the view that Williams screamed at the same time when Stosur was trying to reach the ball and the American’s act might distract the concentration of Stosur; therefore umpire awarded the point to Australian, setting Williams off on a series of insults directed at the official.

Serena continued making derogatory comments to the chair umpire long after this clip ended. She said "you're nobody" and "you're ugly on the inside" and much, much more between games and even between points within a game. The fact is the chair made the CORRECT call. Serena's behavior was utterly classless and an absolute disgrace. She is incredibly self-centered and gets ugly and abusive if things don't go the way she wants.

Wimbledon 2011: Djokovic and Nadal in Finals

WIMBLEDON, July 2 – Serbia tennis star Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal advanced to Final of Wimbledon 2011 final beating their opponents Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Andy Murray respectively.

In the process of advancing to finals of Wimbledon 2011; Novak Djokovic climbed up the world No. 1 tennis ranking by beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Friday (July 1).

Djokovic won the four-set match by playing steady, error-free tennis doing absolutely everything right—all of his weapons were working and he used them all. The final tally was 7(7)–6(4), 6–2, 6(9)–7(11), 6–3

In other semifinal, British hope Andy Murray was ousted by Rafael Nadal for the second year in a row as the top seed secured a place in the final of Wimbledon.

Nadal came from a set down for this 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 victory, which took him through to a fifth Wimbledon final, to play Novak Djokovic for the Challenge Cup.

So Bunny Austin, the runner-up in 1938, is still the last British man to have featured in aWimbledon final, and Fred Perry, the champion in 1936, is still the last player from the home nation to have ripped through a draw-sheet on these lawns.
