With so many big names in the field at the 2012 French Open, it's hard to narrow it down to two that will eventually meet in the women's final. However, when push comes to shove, it will end with a showdown of the best in the world: Victoria Azarenka vs. Maria Sharapova.

Make no mistake, there is no doubting that Azarenka is the best in the world. Her No.1 WTA ranking dares you to prove otherwise. She's collected four singles titles this year and has a 35-3 record in 2012.

It was a tournament win that saw her beat No. 13 ranked Ana Ivanovic in the third round, Venus Williams in the quarterfinals, No. 12 ranked Angelique Kerber in the semifinals, and No. 8 ranked Li Na in the Final.



Sharapova has been impressive, but Azarenka still holds that No. 1 spot and that's what would make this potential French Open Finals matchup so intriguing.

They've met in finals three times already this year, with Azarenka snagging wins at the Australian Open and WTA BNP Paribas Open, while Sharapova beat the world No. 1 at the WTA Tour Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.

It only seems fitting that these two superstars meet in another final, but only one of them will be able to walk away the winner.

Drum roll please...



Predicted Winner: Maria Sharapova

Sharapova played great in Rome and should have a considerable amount of momentum coming into the Fr...
