Chris Evert (second from right) presented the French Open trophy to Sharapova

Sharapova lost her first game of the first set, but then cruised confidently to win the set 6-4. However, she lost the second set to Halep on tie break 67-7, although she could win it easily.

It was the third set in which she was not giving in and had her eyes on the trophy she lost in 2013 and played a rather technical game overpowering Halep 6-4. 

So congratulations Sharapova for regaining the lost tile - congratulations to Halep for playing her first Grand Slam final and coming too close to winning.
