LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...! A big round of applause to the 2009 French Open Champion Svetlana Kuznetsova. In a match that saw the 2004 U.S. Open winner's domination over compatriot and world number one Dinara Safina, Kuznetsova collected her second Grand Slam trophy with the scoreline of 6-4, 6-2.

"Today I think she was too tight," Kuznetsova said. "She had so much pressure on her. But I could bring my better game today" that's why I won." I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time," Kuznetsova said. "Really, I didn't expect it to happen this year, but I give my best, I played with all my heart, I had unbelievable matches, I had unbelievable support. It's my favorite tournament."

Please join the action tomorrow as we take you to the Live Men's Final action, where Roger Federer will try to win the record equalling 14th Grand Slam title against Swede Robin Soderling.
