The women's final in Paris is all set and it will be Dinara Safina vs. Svetlana Kuznetsova. (Wikimedia Images)

Safina, who is a -250 favorite, holds a 7-4 career edge over Kuznetsova, including a win in last year's French Open semifinals.

The two go back about a decade, to age 12 or 13, when Kuznetsova was living in St. Petersburg, and Safina in Moscow, where her father was the director of a tennis club and her mother was a coach who started Marat Safin on his way to titles at the 2000 U.S. Open and 2005 Australian Open.

Safina has won major semifinals before but never a major final, losing in straight sets to Ana Ivanovic at last year’s French Open and to Serena Williams at this year’s Australian Open.

Many in the tennis world have been questioning Safina's No. 1 ranking, so a victory over old pal Kuznetsova on Saturday would do the trick in proving it is correct. Get your French Open betting today.
