Henin-Hardenne, Sharapova In Open Final

NEW YORK, NY -- Terrific at the start and finish, Maria Sharapova shrieked her way past No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo to end a Grand Slam semifinal jinx.

The third-seeded Sharapova beat Mauresmo 6-0, 4-6, 6-0 on Friday to set up a U.S. Open final against No. 2 Justine Henin-Hardenne, who took the last 10 games against a collapsing Jelena Jankovic for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 victory.

Sharapova Wins Second Grand Slam Title

NEW YORK, NY -- Maria Sharapova insists she's more about substance than style, and now she has a second Grand Slam title to prove it.

Her strokes as piercing as her shrieks by the end, the third-seeded Sharapova beat No. 2 Justine Henin-Hardenne 6-4, 6-4 Saturday night to win the U.S. Open final, the 11th straight year the women's final has ended in straight sets.

Henin-Hardenne finally succumbed to Sharapova's power and relentless shotmaking. At 3-3 in the third set came the final, key break of serve, after Henin-Hardenne led 40-15. She missed two backhands and double-faulted; after saving one break point, she set up another by sailing a forehand long. Under pressure from Sharapova's groundstrokes, Henin-Hardenne dumped a forehand into the net, making it 4-3. Sharapova yelled "Come on!" and jogged to the changeover.

I don't think as many people watch womens tennis now that the Williams sisters are out of things. It was like when Tiger was losing all the time... golf kind of took a back seat.

I would disagree with you. People like Sharapova, Davenport, Henine-Hardine, etc have kept the game exciting for fans
