There will be a new women's champion at Roland Garros this year. Garbine Muguruza won last year but was knocked out earlier in the tournament. Serena Williams won't be playing for the foreseeable future as she announced earlier this year that she is pregnant.
Jelena Ostapenko took the French Open by storm this year, becoming the first unseeded WTA player to reach the finals in 34 years. Simona Halep has reached her second French Open finals appearance, the last time coming in 2014 where she lost in three sets to Maria Sharapova.
Both players are a solid breath of fresh air to a women's game that has been dominated by a handful of players in recent years. The mens' tour has been like this as well and it will be interesting to see how the reactions are to this grand slam final with two people new to the spotlight. Halep has been a strong player for some time, but this would be her first major title. She's a seasoned player and although Ostapenko has really played well this tournament, Halep gets the win.
