Counterpoint
They do not have the box-office prima donna profile of Maria Sharapova, the mystique of the Williams sisters or the grace of Amélie Mauresmo, and thus the women’s final at Roland Garros tomorrow may lack for something distinct.
To say that Dinara Safina and Svetlana Kuznetsova are unworthy of their place, though, would unfairly cast them in the role of characterless automatons.
(...)
The last time that two Russians competed on Court Philippe Chatrier in the final, Anastasia Myskina defeated Elena Dementieva in 2004 for the loss of three games. It was a horrid match.
Unless one of the protagonists tomorrow has a distinct drop in fettle, we should not see anything as banal as that.
