Roland Garros in slowly coming to an end and today on schedule is a semifinal match between Serbian player Ivanovic and Russian Sharapova.

Ivanovic is playing great tennis at the moment, she won a tournament on clay in Berlin, she is 15-2 on clay this year, she was beaten in Amelia Island by Golovin in semis and she lost also against Vera Zvonareva in Charleston, and since that loss she has 11 straight wins on clay. She won some great players like Kuznetsova(2x), Schnyder,..so i don't see a reason why she won't win today.

On the other hand Sharapova is a great player, but at the moment she isn't at her best, she has been struggling with shoulder recently, so she didn't play much matches on clay, she is 7-1, she was beaten by Rezai, who is much weaker player on clay than Ivanovic, in Istanbul in semifinal. Sharapova won quite easily Chakvetadze in quarterfinal, but Anna wasn't strong in this tournament, I was very suprosed that she reached the 1/4, so that win for for Sharaova has no major value for me, beacuse she struggfled to win in previous matches. In h2h matches it is tied at 1-1, but they have never met on clay before. Sharopva is 2nd seeded player and that's why I think Sharapova is favourite in bookies, but if you ask me odds should be other way around.
