From the clay of Roland Garros


For the last week, i've been watching a lot of tennis. Currently the French Open is on the way. The ladies final will be between the petite World No. 1 Justine Henin against the young and beautiful No. 7 seed Ana Ivanovic. Both cruise to the final with ease with Justine Henin beating No. 4 seed Jelena Jankovic 6-2, 6-2 and Ivanovic trashing World No. 2 Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-1.

Everyone was expecting Justine to reach the final since she has been undefeated at Roland Garros for the last two years. As for Ana, the younster will be in her first ever Grand Slam final. She has been the supprise candidate in this year French Open. Despite seeded No. 7, not many people will put their money on her before the tournament started. Justine is expected to win her third in a row French Open. However with the young Serbian fresh from humiliating Maria Sharapova, anything can happen. Both players are my favourite players but i'll expect Justine to win the final easily. She is just so focus and Roland Garros is almost like her home court, Ana could find the crowd will be behind Justine throughout the final.

I'll vouch for Justine this time around. Good luck to both of them!
