Justine Henin-Hardenne stormed into the semi-finals of the French Open on Tuesday after outclassing Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova 6-4, 6-2.
The 2003 champion was in complete control against the misfiring Russian, who was bidding for her first semi-final at the Open.
"It went well today and I feel that I'm reaching a crescendo in the tournament," said Henin-Hardenne after stretching her winning streak to 22 matches.
"The important thing is to win when you're not playing your best tennis."
