This two had met 12 times previously,with first meeting as way back as 2001,safina leads the series 7-5,although they are tied this year at 1 a piece,both meeting in finals at stuttgart and rome,kuzvetsova won the first final,while safina took revenge in rome,this would be explosive,follow the live action here

safina thinks she is fresher cos she has less time on court that kuz,well,my dear,that doesnt mean a thing

straight to the lead safina breaks kuz opening service game with some powerfull grounstrokes,1-0 safina

kuznetsova vrekas back immediately,she leads 2-1,safina making alot of unforced errors on her forehand

on serve,kuz leads safina 3-2

and kuz breaks,safina needs to work on her service motion,she has served 4 double faults already,5-3 to kuz,now she serves for the set

ohhh,dear kuz!,she served for the set but safina,a true champion she is, breaks back!!scores 5-4 and we are back on serve

And kuz breaks,she takes the break and the first set,6-4 to kuznetsova

its 2 all in the second,both players are playing cautious tennis,safina needs to strike and force a decider or else,am afraid this would slip away again,ohh mine,I do want her to win

This isnt gud for safina,kuznetsova breaks and she takes a 4-2 lead,this is slipping away,looking at her face,she feels like crying,it would hurt me if she loses this one again!,comon safina,focus,VAMOS!

Kuznetsova holds serve for a 6-4,5-2 lead,she is just one good service hold away from claiming the French open title!

Well,well,a double fault from safina hands kuznetsova her second grand slam title 6-4.6-2,for safina i realy feel sad,third grand slam final loss,now serena would make more mouth
