Sharapova Ready For French Semis

Former top-ranked Sharapova will face Ivanovic for a third time, as the two women have split two career matchups. The Serb captured a meeting in Tokyo earlier this season, 6-1, 0-1, as the tall Russian retired from that semifinal match because of an injury.

Sharapova is a two-time Grand Slam champ and seeking her third straight trip to a major final. She beat Henin in last year's U.S. Open championship match and was pasted by Serena Williams in this year's Aussie Open title bout.

The match has just started... Good luck Maria
