Easy game for the Russian Beauty that won the match in 80 minutes.
Sloane was never in the match to immediately surrender a break in the first game. Then it was just about Maria that broke the young American 5 times to drop the serve only once. Maria showed once again to have big problems on her second serve to commit 7 double faults on 7 service games to win only 38% points on his second serve.
Sharapova will face Sara Errani in the quarters as the Italian took advantage of a retiring Kirilenko when she was leading 6-3 2-0. Head to head is 4-0 for Maria that has never lost a set against Sara.
