Congratulations!!! Serena Williams beat Sharapova to win French open title!!
Serena Williams won the French Open title
Saturday with a straight sets victory over defending champion Maria Sharapova
of Russia in a high quality final.
The 31-year-old tennis player who has been ranked no.1 on six separate occasions ran out a 6-4 6-4 winner in 1 hr 46 minutes to clinch her 16th grand
slam crown.
Although Sharapova put up a brave fight but
could not prevent Williams from claiming her first French Open title since her
maiden triumph in 2002.
The 26-year-old had not beaten her
American opponent since 2004 and despite taking a 2-0 lead in the first set,
then found Williams an irresistible force.
Proud moment:"Eleven years," Williams
said in French during the trophy ceremony. "I think it's unbelievable. Now
I have 16 Grand Slam titles. It's difficult for me to speak because I'm so
excited."
Then the national anthem played for
the first American singles champion at Roland Garros since Williams'
previous title.
