Maria Sharapova on Saturday named World Nou00a0 2 Kim Clijsters as the player to beat in a very open women's singles draw at the French Open.

With both Serena and Venus Williams missing through injury and World No 1 Caroline Wozniacki never having won a grand slam, Clijsters, who is looking for her third successive major title, is clearly the standout name.
Sharapova said: "She's (Clijsters) a great champion, she's won the last couple of grand slams and is number two in the world. She's certainly the one to beat here."
