Sharapova trashes also Riske in Wimbledon

Another ordinary day for Maria Sharapova in Wimbledon.

The world no.5 had no major problems to dismiss world no. 44 Alison Riske in straight sets. The Russian Beauty had a slow start (as usual) to win 11 consecutive games after being 1-3 down I the first set.

Some numbers

Maria won 58 points vs. Alison’s 39. Probably the most important stat is Riske’s winning points on her 2nd serve (only 4 out of 20)… you can’t win with that.

Sharapova: I made a slow start

Maria acknowledged that “I made a slow start but I felt better as the match went on. Alison is a great grass court player and I knew it would be a challenge. I am happy to be in the second week after missing out last year.”

Next vs. Flipkens or Kerber

Maria will play either Flipkens or Kerber in the next round
