PARIS, June 4 (UPI) -- Justine Henin-Hardenne slammed Mary Pierce, 6-1, 6-1 Saturday in the women's final at the French Open in Paris.
It was the second title at Roland Garros for Henin-Hardenne, who was the 10th seed this year. She still has never lost to Pierce, who was No. 21. Pierce, who plays under the French flag, resides in Florida. She lived in France briefly, and never could use the former home crowd to her advantage.
Henin-Hardenne, 22, a four-time Grand Slam champion and gold medalist at the Olympics in 2004, beat Pierce at Wimbledon in 2003. She now has won 24 straight matches and is 27-1 this year.
Henin-Hardenne won the match in just 62 minutes. She converted 5-of-8 break points in the match and committed just 15 unforced errors, while the 30-year-old Pierce, a two-time Grand Slam winner, had 29 unforced errors.
