Serena Williams beaten....

Justine Henin-Hardenne unexpectedly beats Serena Williams in the French Open semi-final and goes through to the first ever all-Belgian Grand Slam final: Justine Henin-Hardenne vs. Kim Clijsters

The details:

Serena Williams USA (1)…2 6 5
Justine Henin-Hardenne BEL (4)…6 4 7

OMG.....that's a shocking piece of news.

i saw that match yesterday…Serena went on crying during the press niterview complaining about the hostile crowd :hehe:

today Verkerk vs Coria…would be nice to see a Dutchman in the final :jhanda:

i saw the match and the only thing that came into my mind is ( apart from the French crowd's booing and whistling at Serena's mistakes ) how can Serena play so well with a bust like that?

verkerk is 2 sets to luv up! :k: and a break ahead in the 3rd :k:

verkerk in the final :jhanda:

^ Mubarak ho Nescio. :)

I didnt know Verkerk was a Pakistani. :smiley:

^they don't have an orange flag here :D

thnx Umer

who is the other finalist btw???

It's Ferrero.

So Justin Henin wins the Finals 6-0, 6-4. One of the most boring french open finals I ever watched :nook: . Justin Henin and Kim Clisters are the most boring players in Women’s Tennis.

I am sure Men’s finals is also going to be boring as well.

** GO MARTIN VERKERK **

:hula: :hula:

word.

Why do the French open and other clay tournaments seem so get so bloody boring with each passing year?!

Someone get those balls to get a move-on, modify the surface a bit, heck get more power-players for the wild-card entries -whatever it takes! Watching a rally of endless top-spins and drop shots is just torture.

heck its still better than the days of yore when Ivan Lendl - Mats Wilander - Stefan Edberg days when each point used to run into a endless rally...

Juan Carlos Ferrero captured his first Grand Slam title with a 6-1 6-3 6-2 victory over Martin Verkerk in the French Open.

Toooo bad for Verkerk. OOh well, he can look back to a great tournament :k:

COngrats to Ferrero!
