French Open 2012: Sharapova vs. Zakopalova

Watch Roland Garros 2012: Maria Sharapova vs Klara Zakopalova

Maria Sharapova, the second seed of this claycourt Slam tournament, is now the top seed left in the tournament after the stunning defeat of top-ranked Victoria Azarenka. Sharapova, winner of tournaments in Stuttgart and in Rome, will certainly be the player to beat at the Roland Garros and this could be the year that she’ll complete her career Grand Slam haul – having won the Wimbledon, US Open and Australian Open titles in the past years. However, standing on her way is Klara Zakopalova, a veteran player who has tricks up her sleeve and will be a dangerous opponent on clay.
