Sharapova tops Errani to win French Open, completes career Grand Slam
As they gazed at each other across the net before their French Open final, 24 cms in height separated Maria Sharapova from Sara Errani – when the action began it was a country mile as the Russian won the title and completed the career grand slam.
The statuesque Sharapova is tennis royalty and her 6-3 6-2 win on Saturday over the 21st seed, who is diminutive in stature and in status, was less a contest and more a coronation.
It was all over in a flash: 89 minutes, five breaks of serve followed by a victory speech in four different languages.
Congratulations Maria Sharapova!
