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. 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.

Robin was very solid in the net. We got yeoman work from our defencemen.

Ottawa was coming off a season-opening 3-2 loss Thursday night at Nashville.A well-battled game, Karlsson said.Victor Hedman and Brett Connolly had Tampa Bays goals and Ben Bishop made 32 saves.Ottawa tied the score 1-1 at 7:34 of the third when Karlsson scored after the defenceman exchanged passes with Alex Chiasson, who had just completed serving a minor penalty.Hes the straw that stirs the drink, Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said of Karlsson.Stone skated alone into the slot, took a pass from Kyle Turris and beat Bishop to put the Senators ahead, 2-1, just 1:36 later.For a couple minutes we forgot about our net, Cooper said. Fundaamental breakdowns.dddddddddddd I thought we had some mental mistakes.Connollys goal with 7:26 remaining in regulation tied it again.Hedman gave the Lightning a 1-0 lead from just above the right circle during a power play with 4:18 left in the first.Bishop stopped all 13 shots he faced in the first period, including an in-close chance by Clarke MacArthur and Chiassons redirection during an Ottawa power play.Lehner made nice saves on Valtteri Filppula and Ondrej Palat during a flurry in the second by the Lightning, who had an 18-6 shots advantage in the period.Even though we had a bad second period, we really stepped up in the third, Karlsson said. (Robin) not letting in a goal in the second, that gave us confidence. It made us more motivated to go out for the third and play for him a little bit.NOTES: Cooper said there should be a better idea by Monday or Tuesday on when rookie F Jonathan Drouin (broken right thumb) will be able to play. ...
