Roland Garros: Maria Sharapova's Career Grand Slam

The organization of the Roland Garros 2020 has long been troubled because of the global Covid-19 pandemic that has plagued the world, and France severely, also in these days of September, with many infections. This year between safety protocols and very important absences, such as that of Roger Federer the Parisian Slam will experience one of the most atypical seasons of its long history: for the first time it will be played not in lat spring but at the gates of autumn .

In 2012, Maria Sharapova completed the Career Grand Slam, beating Sara Errani 6-3, 6-2 in the final and winning her first title at the Roland Garros. The Russian won her second French Open title (and her 5h Slam) against Simona Halep two years later. However, the 2012 victory was perhaps one of the most important of her career: a guarantee certificate for a champion who retired this year after an amazing career.
