This was one of the more interesting match-ups for this year's French Open. Two wily veterans, one a French Open champion, the other, a former Top 5 player in the 90s! Well, Kimiko can still play those shots if she times the ball properly but today, it was Schiavo who dominated from the beginning, finishing all the proceedings in just two sets. Schiavo just came from a title in Strasbourg, so she is in good form right now.

FO 2012: Matches I've Seen - Kimiko Date Krumm vs. Francesca Schiavone
