Watch Live Sharapova vs Errani : Roland Garros Women Single Final 9 June 2012

Maria Sharapova's dream of completing her career Grand Slam is just a day away when she plays against Italian Sara Errani in the women single's final of Roland Garros on Saturday, 9 June 2012.

Roland Garros women Single Final: Two aspiring contestants - Sharapova [top], Errani [below]

Sharapova defeated Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-3 in the Roland Garros semifinal. She now needs a victory over 21st-seeded Sara Errani, who beat No. 6 Australian Samantha Stosur 7-5, 1-6, 6-3, to become the 10th woman to win all four major tournaments.

Sharapova has never played Errani before and this will be her unique experience meeting someone she has not played before in a Grand Slam final. Sharapova, however, is in her best form for having won all of her last eleven matches played.

Errani on the other hand has won her recent six matches, the last against the Australian Stosur. Errani perhaps never expected a victory over the Australian, who was otherwise hot favourite in the semi against Errani. Errani was overwhelmed when she won over Stosur and weepingly remarked: “I have no words, it is incredible.”  

Now the clash of femlae titans on Saturday would be worth watching: Sharapova aspiring to complete her career Grand Slam and become the 10th woman to win all four major tournaments, and Errani for wininng her first Grand Slam title.

Let us not forget to watch the Roland Garros women single's final and see whose dream comes true at Paris.

The match is scheduled for Saturday, 9 June 2012 on Court Philippe Chatrier at 13:00 GMT.

his match  against Federer
