2014 tennis event results
Main article: 2014 French Open
Maria Sharapova won her second French Open title and fifth major title overall by defeating first-time finalist Simona Halep 6–4, 6–7(5–7) , 6–4, to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2014 French Open . In a match that lasted over three hours, it was the first time since 2001 that the final went to three sets.[1] Halep became the first Romanian to reach the final since Virginia Ruzici in 1980 .
Serena Williams was the defending champion, but was defeated in the second round by Garbiñe Muguruza .[2]
The top three seeds (Williams, Li Na and Agnieszka Radwańska ) were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking at the start of the tournament. However, they all failed to reach the fourth round and so Williams retained the top spot in the end. As a result, this marked the first time in the Open Era the top three seeds failed to reach the fourth round of the French Open, and any major.
