(Reuters) - World number one Simona Halep will take on 10th seed Sloane Stephens in the French Open women's final on Saturday as she looks to win her maiden Grand Slam title in her fourth final.

The duo have played each other seven times previously with Halep winning on five occasions including their last meeting at Roland Garros in 2014.

Halep has lost all three of her Grand Slam final matches so far but the Romanian has looked in good form in this tournament.
