“I wanted to put that chapter behind me,” said Queen Maria after being bagelled (6-0) in the first set.
To be honest the beginning was a real nightmare for Maria as she committed so many errors that Jelena won the opener 6-0 blasting only 2 winners (!!!).
There was an eerie feeling that the match was about to finish in no time with a nasyt scoreline, but the world no.2 disagreed with that to regroup and win the last 2 sets 6-4 6-3.
From Maria
“No matter how many errors I made or how disappointed I was with the way I started the match, I knew that I still could try to create chances out there; obviously taking them is another question. But I knew that I was capable of doing much better.” said Sharapova
The semis vs, Azarenka
Maria will play Vika in the semifinal. Head to head is 7-5 for Azarenka, but Sharapova leads 2-0 on clay.
