Li Na leads Francesca Schiavone, 6-4. If the women’s final of the French Open 2011 were a football game, it would be one of those situations where the field is soaked in a monsoon, nobody can stop anybody from scoring, and the last team to hold the ball wins. On a blustery, dry day in Stade Roland Garros, on a very dry court that’s making footing treacherous, in a match devoid of the top four seeds in the women’s field, the No. 6 seed is taking it to the No. 5, who also happens to be the defending French Open champion.
French Open 2011 Women’s Final: Li Na Leads Francesca Schiavone After Close First Set
Had Li not taken the first set, there might have been trouble for the management. In the seventh game of the first set, a point clearly on the line was called out by a match official who used the wrong mark to measure where the ball had landed. All credit to Schiavone, who was down 2-4 at the time and said herself the point was good.
