In tennis circles this match and question is on the tips of every body’s tongues as Maria Sharapova and Justine Henin haven’t played against each other for 2 and half years. Maria Sharapova former World No1 a few years back seems to be coming into form recently with her victory at Strasbourg just before this 2010 French Open event.

Throw into the mix Justine Henin of Belgium the comeback queen who has managed to upset the Williams sisters apple cart who is favourite to win this event and we have probably one of the highlight fireworks matches of the French Open.

Based on current track record, odds and general on paper credentials Henin will win. But Maria Sharapova has the ability to cause some problems here, she is theoretically the underdog in this match which is sometimes a more favourable place to be in psycholigical terms.  Add to this that Henin is also lacking the sparkle she had at the beginning of her comeback and the chance of winning cannot be ruled out..The Williams sisters will also be watching this match closely with intense interest.

Match play is today (Saturday) but subject to weather as some matches have been postponed due to rain in Paris recently
