Maria Sharapova has once again recorded her name in history after winning a career Grand Slam. With the Roland Garros trophy, the Russian reclaims her world number one spot which could put her in good stead for Wimbledon.
Sharapova won the final in straight sets over Italian Sara Errani who arguably had her big day yesterday. Errani won the doubles tournament in three sets compared to Sharapova taking the day off yesterday, arguably coming into today's final the fresher of the two women.
The Russian instantly broke in the first set, but saw her 3-1 lead levelled by Errani. But any momentum the Italian gained was instantly cut as Sharapova stormed into a 6-3 first set win. The second set saw Errani do her best to battle Sharapova but could only manage two games before the Russian lifted the trophy after three deuce points in the final game. Perhaps the most impressive statistic following this victory is that Sharapova only dropped one single set in the whole tournament.
