Sharapova Defeats Halep For 2nd French Open Title

Maria Sharapova of Russia defeated Romanian tennis player Simona Halep at the Roland Garros on Saturday for the 2014 French Open title. Maria defeated Simona with a 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-4 score. The win makes it Sharapova’s second French Open title in three years and is her fifth Grand Slam win of her career.

Sharapova gave everything she could to prove she was a winner and has a never say die attitude in every match she competes in: “I’m not sure if that’s something can you work on, but I think when you’re forced to be in those situations when you’re either not playing good or you find yourself in a losing position, I just don’t want to give up, because I work too hard to just let something go and let a match go. You put so much effort, you and your team, to get to this position. If some things are not working out, I don’t just want to quit in the middle. … That’s the type of philosophy that I play with.”
