The French Open womens final pits a veteran who is no stranger to centre court against a rookie when it comes to playing on the final weekend of a Grand Slam. Miguel Andujar Jersey . 2012 champion Maria Sharapova goes up against fourth-seeded Simona Halep in Saturdays final at Roland Garros. Watch the match live on TSN, TSN.ca and TSN GO at 9am et/6am pt. Sharapova, who has an impressive 18-1 record on clay this season, will be looking for her second French Open title in three years after losing to Serena Williams in last years final. Already with a career Grand Slam on her resume, the seventh-seeded Sharapova eliminated Canadas Eugenie Bouchard, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 in the semifinals en route to Saturdays final. It was the third straight match in which she lost the first set but rebounded for the victory. She struggled with her serve in the match, double-faulting nine times and getting broken four times. "I dont feel that I played my best tennis, but to be in the semifinals of a Grand Slam and winning a match where I felt my opponent played extremely well, exceptional tennis, and I didnt feel that I was playing my best, I fought, I scrambled, and I found a way to win," said Sharapova after the match. The last time Sharapova lost a three-set match on clay was at the 2010 French Open, when she was ousted by Justine Henin in the third round. Halep defeated 28th-seeded Andrea Petkovic,6-2, 7-6(4) in her first Grand Slam semifinal match on Thursday. The Romanian hasnt lost a set in the tournament so far, becoming the first player since Lindsay Davenport at the 1998 US Open to reach her first Grand Slam final in that fashion. The Romanian has lost all three meetings with Sharapova, including a 1-6 6-2 6-3 decision in the final of the Madrid Open last month. Halep, who was ranked 57th last year, will move up to third in the world rankings regardless of Saturdays result. Custom Yankees T-shirts .

The South Africa international, who rejoined the club last month on loan from Tottenham, opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a powerful shot into the roof of the net.The AFC South pretty much has been the province of the Colts and Texans in recent years. Even though Houston fell apart last season, its not a big surprise it has emerged as the only challenger to Indianapolis in the division this year.Thursday nights meeting in Houston will provide a litmus test for both teams. Whether it offers a close contest is something entirely different, because previous midweek games in 2014 have resulted in routs.Both teams are 3-2. Indy (No. 7 in the AP Pro32) is a 2 1-2 point favourite over Houston (No. 18).I mean it is early, but it is for first place so theyre going to be fighting tooth and nail just like we are for first place in the division, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. Id rather be, come Thursday at whatever time it will be, 10:30, 11 oclock, Id rather be in first than any other place, and then move on from there.To take sole possession of the division lead and win their fourth in a row, the Colts need to protect Andrew Luck from J.J. Watt. Houstons defensive end has been not only dynamic, but perhaps the best player in the NFL so far a€” on offence or defence.Watt has sacked Luck four times in his career.You do have to keep an eye on where 99 is, hes a stud, Luck said. I hesitate to say you build a whole game plan around him, and I know as a quarterback, you dont ever want to get too locked in on what one guy on the defence is doing. I think that can get you out of rhythm, the offensive rhythm.But I know as a unit we have the utmost respect for him and what he does on the field.What the Colts will do on the field is establish their pre-eminence in the AFC South.COLTS, 23-16No. 2 Denver (minus 8) at No. 29 (tie) New York JetsUntil Jets show something on either side of ball, its natural to make their opponent the ...BEST BET: BRONCOS, 31-16No. 29 (tie) Jacksonville (plus 6) at No. 32 TennesseeJaguars will win a game this season.
