Vardan Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 В мужском финале Открытого чемпионата Франции по теннису сыграют испанец Рафаэль Надаль и аргентинец Мариано Пуэрта. Об этом стало известно после того, как в пятницу состоялись полуфинальные матчи Roland Garros. В первом полуфинале Пуэрта в упорном поединке одолел россиянина Николая Давиденко, 12-го номера посева - 6:3, 5:7, 2:6, 6:4, 6:4. Выход этих теннисистов в полуфинал Roland Garros стал настоящей неожиданностью, и конечно, каждый из них жаждал добраться до главного матча соревнований, отмечает РИА "Новости". Представитель России всего один раз в истории отечественного тенниса играл в финале мужского одиночного разряда Roland Garros. Девять лет назад, в 1996 году, сочинец Евгений Кафельников в главном матче Открытого чемпионата Франции выиграл у немца Микаэля Штиха и завоевал почетный трофей. Несмотря на поражение, 24-летний Давыденко заслужил своим выступлением в Париже самой высокой оценки, впервые в своей карьере пробившись на соревновании серии "Большого шлема" в четверку сильнейших. В состоявшемся позднее в пятницу втором полуфинале French Open Рафаэль Надаль (4), выиграл у первой ракетки мира швейцарца Роже Федерера - 6:3, 4:6, 6:4, 6:3. Финал Открытого первенства Франции состоится в воскресенье, 5 июня Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vardan Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Who Will Win Title No.2? Both Mary Pierce and Justine Henin-Hardenne know the taste of victory at Roland Garros - the 30-year-old Frenchwoman winning in 2000 and the 23-year-old Belgian triumphing two years ago. On Saturday they will battle it out in the 2005 women's singles final in Paris. Henin-Hardenne holds a 3-0 career advantage against Pierce and brings a 23-match win streak into Saturday's championship match. Pierce, however, will be buoyed by the French supporters and a win over world No.1 Lindsay Davenport in the quarterfinals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vardan Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Henin-Hardenne Wins Roland Garros Capping a phenomenal comeback from illness and injury, Justine Henin-Hardenne (left) has beaten Mary Pierce 61 61 Saturday to win her second Roland Garros singles title. The former No.1, a winner here in 2003 but absent for much of last season, captured her fourth career Grand Slam title with a dominating display, defeating the French veteran and 2000 champion in just 61 minutes. Henin-Hardenne completed a perfect clay court season in which she won 24 consecutive matches, taking titles in Charleston, Warsaw and Berlin prior to her victory in Paris.

Vardan Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 June 4, 2005 Ruano Pascual, Suarez Aim For Fourth Doubles Title In Paris PARIS - The Top 2 teams at Roland Garros will do battle in the ladies' doubles final on Sunday, with the year's second Grand Slam title up for grabs on the slow red clay of the 2005 French Open. Top seeds Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez (pictured receiving the ITF Doubles World Champions award in Paris on May 31) reached their sixth straight final at Roland Garros with a 62 64 win over No.5 seeds Nadia Petrova and Meghann Shaughnessy. Ruano Pascual and Suarez have won seven Grand Slam titles together, including here at Roland Garros in 2001, 2002 and last year. Their 28 career titles as a team include two so far this year at Dubai and Indian Wells. They have both also tasted Roland Garros success in singles, with Ruano Pascual reaching the quarterfinals here in 1995, and Suarez advancing to the quarterfinals twice, going one step further last year before losing to Elena Dementieva in the semifinals. It was here last year that Ruano Pascual and Suarez reached their ninth consecutive Grand Slam doubles final, a feat second only to the legendary team of Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver, who reached 11 straight major finals between 1983 and 1985. Ruano and Suarez's streak was stopped in last year's Wimbledon semifinals. Petrova and Shaughnessy were making their first Grand Slam semifinal appearance. They had a stellar year together in 2004, winning seven titles, including Tier I events at Miami, Rome and Berlin, as well as the Season-Ending Championships. Their previous best Grand Slam finishes as a team came last year, reaching the quarterfinals here and at Wimbledon. In addition, Petrova had an excellent tournament in singles, reaching her second career semifinal here, losing to Justine Henin-Hardenne. Also advancing to the final were No.2 seeds Cara Black and Liezel Huber, who defeated No.8 seeds Corina Morariu and Patty Schnyder 64 62. Black and Huber head into the final on a 10-match win streak, coming off a title run at Rome, which was their first title together in over three-and-a-half years. Black has had Grand Slam doubles success before, winning the Wimbledon title last year with Rennae Stubbs. Huber's best Grand Slam doubles performance also came last year at Wimbledon but with Ai Sugiyama, finishing runners-up. Morariu had reached the semifinals or beyond at a Grand Slam four times previously in her career, each time with her compatriot and good friend Lindsay Davenport. In 1999, she and Davenport won the Wimbledon title, and they have also reached the final four teams at the Australian Open three times, finishing runners-up in 2001 and earlier this season. Schnyder was playing in her career-second Grand Slam doubles semifinal, after reaching the 2004 US Open semifinals with the now-retired Barbara Schett. In their only prior encounter, Ruano Pascual and Suarez defeated Black and Huber in a nail-biter in the 2003 Zurich semifinals, emerging with a 16 63 76(2) victory at the indoor event.
