7 Samantha Stosur vs Francesca Schiavone - H2H: 4-1
Fran won the 1st meeting in '05 - Sam won the rest including their 2 on clay.
One of these ladies will leave Paris as a first time Grand Slam winner.
And not many folks are giving Fran a chance - but you never know...
They both have a title on clay in '10: Sam in Charleston, Fran in Barcelona.
Win or lose Fran will break into the top 10 for the first time.
Fran is the first Italian woman in the history of tennis to reach a Slam final.
Aussie Sam will do her best to keep her from a dream title for Italy.
An Aussie lady hasn't won a Slam since Goolagong at Wimbledon in 1980.
Sam is also trying to become the 2nd straight 7th seed to win (Kuznetsova).
I dearly hope this turns into a 3 set thriller. I don't care who wins. I like both.
