FRENCH OPEN 2014 : REVIEW OF GRAND SLAM WINNERS
Men's Single -
WINNER : RAFAEL NADAL
Nadal will have two more chances to add some more pieces of Grand Slam hardware to his trophy case in 2014. Wimbledon begins in two weeks, and Nadal will head to the U.S. Open in August as the defending champion for the second time in his career.
And depending on how many more years Nadal remains on tour, he'll likely have a shot at several more French Open titles.
Considering the title marks the fifth Grand Slam win of her career and her first in two years, there's no question the result will be huge for her confidence as she gears up for Wimbledon later this month. And that's key given her recent struggles at the All England Club.
Since breaking through at Wimbledon as a 17-year-old a decade ago, Sharapova has reached the final just once in her last nine tries and has been knocked out prior to the quarterfinals in six of the past seven years.
Winning it all at Roland Garros is sure to put a massive bull's-eye on her back in London this summer, but her gritty run in Paris will also provide her with the belief that she can beat anyone anywhere.

Women's Single -
WINNER : MARIA SHARAPOVA
Although 2014 French Open women's champion Maria Sharapova has a long way to go to catch Nadal, she joins an elite list of women to have won at least twice at Roland Garros. She now ties rival and world No. 1 Serena Williams with two majors on the Paris clay.
