Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova get to the quarters in Miami in different style.
Serena
The world no.1 dismissed world no. 104 Coco Vandeweghe in just 78 minutes. Serena was always on top to 66 points vs. Coco’s 44. Match Stats.
“It was a much tougher match than the scoreline showed,” the world no.1 said soon after the match “Coco has such an amazing serve, so every time I was returning I was like, ‘Hopefully I can touch the ball.’ But it was really good for me to win this match today. I love playing here in Miami.”
Serena will play Angelique Kerber in the quarters. Head to head is 3-1 for the American.
Sharapova
Maria had a much more difficult task against world no. 23 Kristen Flipkens. The Russian beauty had to rally from a set down to beat the Belgian in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Once again Maria hd a terrible record on her service game to be broke 4 times and commit 10 double faults (no aces). Match Stats.
Sharapova will play Petra Kvitova in the next round. Head to head is 4-2 for Maria.
