French Open 2008: Maria Sharapova to Face Evgeniya Rodina in the First Round

Maria Sharapova is the current world no. 1 in women’s singles according toe WTA ranking. Except French Open, the Russian tennis star won the title of three other grand slam tournaments. Now, ahead of French Open 2008, she must be gunning for achieving the career grand slam in this tournament. Achieving such success at the age of 21 is really something special for any tennis star. French Open 2008 is due to be started from Sunday. So, tennis fans are now eagerly waiting to see their favorite players competing in the second grand slam of the year.

Sharapova is going to start the tournament with the first round meeting with fellow Russian Evgeniya Rodina. The match seems not be that much problematic for the top seed Russian. However, Maria Sharapova should not take Evgeniya Rodina lightly because accident could happen to Sharapova once again in grand slam. She suffered a shocking defeat in US Open 2007 as she was beaten by Agnieszka Radwańska in the third round. Evgeniya Rodina is currently ranked 104 and has only four IFT singes title so far in her career. She has been pretty much consistent over the last one year in different tournaments. She broke into 120 ranking for the first time at the end of 2007. Well, still I think, Maria Sharapova is going to win the match, but Evgeniya Rodina could build up a strong challenge in the match.
