PARIS — Maria Sharapova won her second French Open on Saturday with a 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-4 victory over Simona Halep.
The 6-foot-2 Sharapova and the 5-6 Halep presented a tantalizing matchup of power versus guile, experience versus new blood, and they did not disappoint, giving Roland Garros its first three-set women’s final since 2001.
But just as she has all tournament, Sharapova raised her game when she was down.
She was down a break early in the first set but rallied to win it. Halep served for the second set twice but could not close Sharapova out until a tiebreaker. When Sharapova lost her lead in the third set, she mercilessly took it back, winning the last eight points of the match.
Halep, a 22-year-old Romanian, was playing in her first Grand Slam final after rising from No. 57 to No. 4 in the rankings and winning seven WTA titles since last year’s French Open.

Wow
Talk about getting something off your chest
She not only looks better, I am sure she feels better.
I hope there are some ‘before’ pics. Wasn’t there some kind of ‘Save the Boobies’ campaign for her to NOT get breast reduction?
hehe
The before photos look photoshopped:

I don't know about that but the gossip mags say the men that have made it with her stated she was a dead.....and really bad in bed.
Remember Anna Kournikova’s billboard at Wimbledon a few years back..for a sports bra she was endorsing....IIRC it was a pic of her spectacular rack, with the caption “these balls don’t bounce..”
Slightly off topic, but wasn't there an incident at Wimbledon a few years ago..a female player was wearing some type of streamlined "body suit" as as she reached up to serve, one of her breasts popped out..
"In women's tennis, I always root against the heterosexual."
Sad commentary on our shallow society.
Bless your heart!!!!
Which one let out a hideous screech after every stroke? Watched about 2 minutes and could stand no more. My ears rebelled.
Oh Ok...probably that is when when she became famous.
Serena is not easy to beat.
