Justine Henin is being forced to work hard for a potential twenty-fourth straight Roland Garros victory, as her match against Maria Sharapova finished yesterday at 6-2, 3-6. The match will be decided in a crucial third set, which will be played tomorrow as bad light ended yesterday’s play.

Henin had previously won her past forty sets at Roland Garros before Sharapova hit back yesterday, leaving the match poised for a dramatic finish. Sharapova will be disappointed to have had to stop, as she had the momentum, though Henin will also have fancied her chances.

The match between Sharapova and Henin stood out as the headline fixture in the third round of the French Open, and its continuation into a second day adds to the excitement here. Yesterday’s play was intense, and this match hangs delicately in the balance.

Both of these players have the ability to go on and win the tournament here, though the winner faces Samantha Stosur in a tricky fourth round matchup. Tomorrow’s third set could be epic, and may play a huge role in the eventual outcome of this year’s French Open.
