Winner : Serena Williams
She not win Australian Open and French Open, but it's not the reason we can not choose Serena as the winner of the next ten Grand Slam. She has a big serve that no women have it and every times she steps on the court she is the favourite no matter who she plays. She maybe carry the pressure because she a couple bad lost this year, but she know how to win it here like she has done five times before.

Dark Horses : Eugenie Bouchard, Simona Halep, Petra Kvitova
Eugenie really proves that she is among the elite right now with two straight Grand Slam semifinal and almost beat Maria Sharapova. She hits ball really well, take ball early and doesn't has nerves to play great players. Halep just waiting for her day to win Grand Slam. She play great, doesn't has nerve and shows determination in her first Grand Slam final against Sharapova. Maybe some of us already forgot that Kvitova is former champion  here. She may not play well in the past couple years after winning Wimbledon, but no doubt she can win again here. She loves grass and made it to the quarter-final in last two visit.

Sharapova?
It's very hard to say about her. Yes, she just won French Open but in last two visit here she just made it to fourth and second round only. We hope the last year incident when she slipping and sliding will not happen again this year. The problem with Sharapova is the gap between between her Grand Slam is far. If she carry the momentum and has the confidence no doubt that she can win here like she done ten years ago.

The Fighter..... Maria Sharapova

The story would be different if Serena Williams did not lose in the second round. Serena Williams has 15 straight wins over Maria Sharapova and lead head to head with 16-2. Last time Sharapova beat Serena was 10 years ago. When the draw came out last two weeks, everyone though that Maria Sharapova will fall to Serena Williams in the Quarterfinal. But, everything changed when Serena stunned by Garbine Murguza 6-2 6-2 in the second round. Everyone know that this is the time for Sharapova to claim her fifth Grand Slam title.

The story changed again when Sharapova play fourth round with Samantha Stosur. She was two games away from lost. It happened again in the Quarterfinal when she was one game away to fall to Serena's killer, Garbine Murguza. The story still same in the semifinal. Sharapova was two games away from say good bye to Roland Garros when she played Eugenie Bouchard. That is why she is four times Grand Slam champions and former World No.1, she fighting until the end and win!

Sharapova was not in a peak of her game when playing fourth round to semifinal, but she escaped all. Waiting her in the final is Simona Halep, a very talented and rising star in WTA from Rome. Halep has unbelievable season since last year. She was World No. 4 and wins 7 titles in the last twelve months. Not just that, in the road to final, she has beaten Svetlana Kuznetsova, former champion here in Roland Garros at 2009. She also not drop a set compared to Sharapova who just few games away from lose. 

Some people predicted that Sharapova will win in two sets, some in three and some predicted that Halep win capture her first Grand Slam title based on her performance. In final Sharapova wins first set in 57 minutes. After Sharapova just two points away in the second set tie break from winning her second Roland Garros titles, Halep fighting back to win the second set 7-6(5). Sharapova was up 4-2 in the deciding set, but Halep make it 4-4. But the active legend Maria Sharapova make it 6-4 and wins her second Roland Garros and her fifth Grand Slam title. 

Simona Halep has played unbelievable tennis even this is her first Grand Slam final. There is no reason why Halep can't be World No.1 and wins Grand Slam near in future. For Sharapova. the things she needs to prove in this stage of her career are to win more Grand Slam and claims back World No.1. And not to forget, the biggest block of her career, Serena Williams. Lastly, Maria Sharapova again proved to us that she is a true champion and already wrote her name in the history among the legends.
