For the 2nd match in a row, Maria's match has been suspended due to bad light at Roland Garros. Maria is currently level in sets with #22 seed Justine Henin of Belgium in the 3rd round. The score was 2-6 6-3 when play was stopped at just after 9 in the evening.
Henin got off to the better start in the first set as she raced into a 4-0 lead and Henin managed to maintain control of the set as she dropped only 2 games to take the set 6-2 in 35 minutes.
The second set was a lot closer than the first as both players held their serve until Maria broke to lead 5-3. In the next game Maria held to love to take her first set on clay against the 4-time Roland Garros champion when the Belgian hit a forehand error.
This match will resume on Sunday on Chatrier court and will be the 2nd match and the schedule of play begins at 11.00CET (5.00ET & 2.00PT).
