Serena wraps the match with and ace to lift win Roland Garros after 11 years! What a comprehensive performance by Williams as one must feel sorry for Sharapova as the Russian gave everything she had. The American just did not put a step wrong throughout the match as she overpowered and outplayed Sharapova in two closely contested sets in an hour and 46 minutes. With monstrous serves and really heavy forehands, the American pleases the crowd that supported her further as she expressed her feelings in French, something she has been practicing really hard. 1 Like |

Williams is just getting better in her game as she grows older. congrats to a deserving champion. |
Re: Serena Defeats Sharapova To Win French Open Title by Nobody: 5:17pm On Jun 08, 2013 |
Congrats!! She'll dominate for the next two and she definitely has four more grand-slams to her. Starting with Wimbledon - I don't see anyone topping her on grass, to be honest. She's the greatest female tennis player ever!!! She came in an era where female tennis was packed with great players - and she dominated everyone(including her sister, Venus). Only the Belgians girls(Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin) gave her a hard time - and she forced them into retirement twice. I know the fans of Steffi Graf would something to say. However, without the barbaric stabbing of Monica Seles by the deranged and psychotic German fan, she definitely wouldn't have won the many grand-slams. Hale Serena Williams, the G.O.A.T. 2 Likes |

I don't follow tennis that much but the way the sisters have dominated the sport is really amazing and exciting. We may never witness this in a long time and so should appreciate it while they are at the top of their game. 1 Like |

I knew she ll win. I was with her in prayers. Last bullet: The change I saw in Serena during the French Open is her body shape. She has lost some fat & now has a sweet yummy shape. |

Smh @ some comments. Anyone that has followed tennis for a while would know Serena totally deserves this win and there is no idea of 'monopoly' here. The last time she won the French Open 11 f**king years ago(2002)! She never gave up within this long gap of years even though she dealt with a lot of things like the loss of her sister (yetunde), pulmonary embolism which she had to undergo a life-threatening operation. She came back into the game at an age some of her colleagues like andy roddick and kim clijsters were dropping their bats and got knocked out in the first round of a tournament- last year French Open ( the first time ever she would be beaten in the first round in her career). She never gave up. She subjected herself to a new French coach who helped her change her game. Now she is really on fire and smashing records. She occupies the number 1 ranking again. Her tennis story is just inspiring. This French Open win is just an icing on the cake. Now she has two of all grandslams. Her best is yet to come...I hope. She is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Steffi graf fans, deal with it. 4 Likes |
