Ahmed Rizvi
Serena Williams
Ahmed Rizvi from UAE’s The National shared his thoughts as to why Serena Williams is still the favorite to win it all in Roland Garros. Rizvi stated that only one player has two wins out of eight tournaments played on clay this season. Apparently, that woman is not Williams but rather Angelique Kerber.
[sc:Other240banner ]Kerber managed to reach the fourth round in two events held in France this year, but her performance in French Open tournaments is a different story. Kerber’s best finish in Roland Garros was back in 2012, where she lost to Sara Errani in the quarterfinals.
Williams, meanwhile, has an impressive record throughout the 2015 season. Williams’ consistent play is evident with her 25-1 record for the year, and her winning trend is likely to continue by winning her second Grand Slam event this season.
Over at Australia’s TheRoar.com.au, they also predict that Serena Williams will be victorious at the French Open. Williams is even more motivated to win in Roland Garros, as she has her sight on bagging her 20th Grand Slam victory. She is also just three wins away from tying Steffi Graf for the all-time wins leader at Grand Slam events.
Even more so, Williams has her best games when the spotlight is at its brightest. She has a career record of 19-4 in finals matches at Grand Slam (singles) tournaments. In fact, her latest Grand Slam victory came earlier this season when she beat Maria Sharapova at the Australian Open.

Serena Williams
LiveWithSports.com wrote a very brief and adamant prediction that the finals would see Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova going head-to-head in the finals.
They stated that both Williams and Sharapova have dominated the WTA circuit for the past decade, and it’s only fitting that these two are bound to face-off for another epic showdown. Sharapova is the defending champion at Roland Garros, where she defeated Simona Halep.
But Sharapova’s head-to-head record against Williams is a grave concern. She only has two victories in the 19 matches against Williams, with her latest loss coming earlier this year at the Australian Open. In that match, Williams amassed 18 aces compared to Sharapova’s five.
