Justine Henin vs Maria Sharapova Full Match, US Open 2006 Final
No. 2 seed Justine Henin takes on No. 3 seed Maria Sharapova in the final of the US Open 2006. Henin booked her place in the final with a tense threeset semifinal win over Jelena Jankovic and in doing so, became only the second woman to reach all four Grand Slam finals in the same year. Martina Hingis accomplished the feat in 1997. Sharapova secured her final spot with a stunning semifinal victory over World No. 1 and top seed Amelie Mauresmo, which put an end to her five consecutive Slam semifinal defeats since winning Wimbledon in 2004 at age 17.
