From Maria
The Russian Beauty had some comments about Sloane Stephens
“There’s a lot of room for a few things to improve, and I think she will. I think she has a big game. She has big strokes; pretty good serve. Maybe not as consistent as she would like at this point, but … she has a lot of time to develop it,
This is a really important time in her career. If she’s in the right hands at the right time, I’m sure she’s going to have a great career.”
From Sloane
The American has now a 0-3 record against Maria to comment “Unfortunate I had to play her. I’ve always done well in Slams, so it’s not that big of a deal, I don’t think, anymore,
Now I’m seeded and that’s how I should be doing.”
Next vs. Jankovic
Maria will play the quarters against Jelena Jankovic that has trashed anoter American (Jamie Hampton) 6-0 6-2. Head to head is 7-1 for Maria.
