Paris ? Maria Sharapova won in 10 minutes Monday at the French Open. Justine Henin-Hardenne took a lot longer.

Henin-Hardenne played for 3 hours, 15 minutes, overcoming two match points in the fourth round to beat reigning U.S. Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 7-5.

“It was a bit of a miracle,” Henin-Hardenne said. “I was seeing her very nervous. She was afraid to win the match. That was very clear. When you can see that in the eyes of your opponent, that is very good for myself.”

The Belgian’s opponent in the quarterfinals today will be second-seeded Sharapova, who swept the final three games to complete a match suspended overnight because of rain. She beat Nuria Llagostera Vives, 6-2, 6-3.

Reigning Australian Open champion Marat Safin, seeded third, lost to No. 15 Tommy Robredo, 7-5, 1-6, 6-1, 4-6, 8-6.

Both 2004 men’s finalists also were eliminated. Defending champion Gaston Gaudio blew a 4-0 lead in the last set and lost in four hours to No. 20 David Ferrer, 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5), 5-7, 6-4.

“I got too nervous, I guess, and after that I couldn’t do anything,” Gaudio said. “Always to lose is disappointing. Losing like this is even worse.”

No. 8 Guillermo Coria, beaten by Gaudio in last year’s final, lost to No. 12 Nikolay Davydenko, 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (1), 6-2. Davydenko plays Robredo in the quarterfinals.

No. 4 Rafael Nadal of Spain advanced to his first Grand Slam quarterfinal by beating No. 23 Sebastien Grosjean of France, 6-4, 3-6, 6-0, 6-3.
