Trying to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open is, without a doubt, the toughest task in tennis. Indeed, must be among the greatest challenges in all of sports.
In an entertaining and undulating championship match -- the first women's final at Roland Garros in 13 years to go three sets -- Maria Sharapova showed that she's as tough as they come, edging Simona Halep 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-4 Saturday to win a second French Open title in three years.
