Justine Henin’s run of winning forty consecutive sets at Roland Garros came to an end yesterday against Maria Sharapova, in a match that spanned for two days due to rain delays. Henin showed great poise to eliminate Sharapova, who appeared to have the momentum after winning the second set on Friday. Although the third set began on Saturday, Henin still faced an uphill struggle after being broken in the first game of the set.
Henin is one of the favourites this week, and hasn’t lost in twenty-four straight matches at Roland Garros. If past form is anything to go by, it will take something special to defy Henin here in Paris. Today she faces Samantha Stosur, who will be hoping to succeed where Sharapova failed.
Henin and Stosur have played against each other just once previously on the tour. This match occurred earlier this year on the clay courts of Stuttgart, where Henin won in three sets, 6-4, 2-6, 6-1. Stosur has demonstrated that she can test Henin, and this could be a very close match.
This match could go either way, though Henin will be the favourite today. Both players are amongst the best in the world on clay, and today’s winner will be a major challenger for the title.
