Could the WTA have another new slam champ, this time at the French Open?

So following the news today of Sharapova testing positive and facing a ban (i've heard 4 months- 4 years being thrown around). I thought i'd create this thread. Assuming Sharapova is suspended come the French Open.

As it stands (thanks to Serena's dominance) we only have 10 active female slam champions. (Serena, Sharapova, Kvitova, Azarenka, Venus, Stosur, Kerber, Schiavone, Kuznetsova & Ivanovic).

We have an even smaller pool of French Open champions with 5. (Serena, Sharapova, Schiavone, Kuznetsova & Ivanovic).
With Sharapova possibly banned that leaves only 4 active French Open champions.

I've made a poll, the options are players who've had great success at the French in recent years.

I was sick of all the Sharapova threads. Apologies if people think it's a bit early for a French Open thread.

I think sharapova will win it.
