It's all smiles at the start as Mary Pierce plays Justine Henin-Hardenne in the eagerly awaited French Open final

Henin-Hardenne starts far stronger and breaks her opponent three times in a very one-sided opening set

Pierce is stunned as she loses the opening set 6-1 after just 24 minutes of play in Paris

There's plenty for Henin-Hardenne fans to be excited but not so much for the home crowd

Henin Hardenne takes nine games on the trot, breaking again in game two of the second set to establish a 3-0 lead

A double fault by Pierce in game six allows Henin-Hardenne to break her opponent for the fifth time in the match

It takes Henin Hardenne just over an hour to complete a relatively easy 6-1 6-1 victory
