Question

• A. Svetlana Kuznetsova
• B. Kristina Mladenovic
• C. Maria Sharapova
• D. Venus Williams

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

This question asks for a specific tournament result, so it helps to recall who reached and won the final that year.

1. Svetlana Kuznetsova: She reached the 2009 French Open women's final and beat Dinara Safina in straight sets to win her first French Open and second Grand Slam title.
2. Kristina Mladenovic: In 2009 she was still a young junior player and had not yet broken into the senior tour finals, so she was not part of that final.
3. Maria Sharapova: Sharapova was working her way back from a shoulder injury in 2009 and did not reach the French Open final that year.
4. Venus Williams: Venus has had great success at Wimbledon and the US Open, but she did not win the French Open in 2009.

The player who actually lifted the trophy that year was Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Let's summarize:

• Match the 2009 final result directly, and Kuznetsova is the confirmed winner.

So the correct answer is Svetlana Kuznetsova.
