Women's French Open Final is set...SPOILER ALERT...
Schiavone v Li Na...rooting for Schiavone just so she can prove last uyear wasn't a fluke. I could not pick Na out of a line-up...I can't say if she's really that good (secdon straight Slam final) or just taking advantage of weakness in the women's game right now.

1. Schiavone is one tough cookie
Don't know Li Na either.

3. Combined age of the finalists is 60 years, 39 days...
Congrats to the two who are playing well so late in their careers.

5. I had Li Na over Sharapova
Just a hunch that the player I was rooting for during the tournament -- Sharapova -- wasn't really playing that well, on hardly her best surface, and likely to be ousted once she faced someone of this caliber.

Li Na got really nervous against Clijsters in the Australian final, after taking an early lead. She is a big hitter who dictates points, but error prone.

Schiavone will fight for every point. At first glance I pick her.

6. And so is the men's final
Djoko's streak is over. Thank you, Roger Federer.

Federer and Nadal to meet on Sunday. That should be a great final.

7. I want Schiavone to win again.
Nothing against Na, but I wanted to see Schiavone win back-to-back.
