Bet live on the Sharapova v Errani with a £200 free bet at bet365

There have been some great matches and some huge surprises this year at Roland Garros, leaving us with an intriguing final to be played on Saturday between Maria Sharapova and Sara Errani. Not so long ago, Sharapova was uncomfortable on clay, and not really a contender here. As for Errani, few would have backed her to one day make a slam final. Even in the run up to this event, her results in Stuttgart, Madrid and Rome were nothing to brag about.

Sharapova set up the clash by defeating fourth seed Petra Kvitova in Thursday’s semi-finals. The Russian was in control throughout, and seemed to handle the gusty conditions a little better than the Czech. She’s been playing superbly all week, and has only really been tested by Klara Zakopalova, who provided a gutsy resistance earlier in the week.

Errani was the first player through to the final, as she rallied back against Samantha Stosur for a 7-5, 1-6, 6-3 triumph. The Aussie seemed to have the momentum going into the third set, but Errani, who has personified determination all week, dug deep for an historic win. This will be the third successive year in which an Italian has contested the final.

Sharapova will enter this clash as the favourite, but the form book hasn’t been particularly reliable in the 2012 French Open. The Russian, who will now move to the top of the world rankings, will be eager to make the most of her chance to achieve a career grand slam. Errani, who will now crack the top ten, will be hopeful for the perfect ending to a fairytale fortnight..
