Svetlana Kuznetsova is womens' champion for 2009, after the Russian 7th seed was far too good for
her top seeded compatriot Dinara Safina, taking the final in straight sets in barely an hour.
Both players exchanged early service breaks, but on balance were back on serve with Kuznetsova
leading 4-3 in the first set. But Kuznetsova's second break gave her a 5-3 lead and an opportunity to
serve for the first set. Safina bounced back to break serve to love, but was unable to hold her serve in
the next game, giving Kuznetsova a 6-4 win in the first set.
The second set saw Safina's serve continue to let her down, but this time she was unable to get a
break over Kuznetsova. As the set went on, Kuznetsova's confidence grew, while Safina's diminishing
confidence and increased desperation saw a series of unforced errors come from her racket. In the
end, the match finished in a one-sided way, giving Kuznetsova her second French Open title; and while
Dinara Safina retains her number 1 ranking but is still yet to win a Grand Slam.
