Sue Barker hosts coverage of the women's final between Dinara Safina and Svetlana Kuznetsova at the 2009 French Open. It's an exciting and unpredictable time in women's tennis with four different players capturing the four Grand Slam titles in 2008, while the world number one ranking has been changing hands on a regular basis. Serena Williams followed up her US Open win last autumn with victory in the Australian Open earlier this year but the American has never been totally at ease on the Parisian clay and it's been seven years since she last won the title at Roland Garros. Serbian Ana Ivanovic triumphed last year but has struggled since then - and with no-one able to dominate on this surface since the retirement of Justine Henin, will there be a surprise name on the trophy this year? Commentary comes from Mark Petchey and Sam Smith.
