Sharapova reaches the quarters in Melbourne

Maria Sharapova advances to the Australian Open quarters after a tough match against rising star Belinda Bencic.

The big difference between the 2 was that Maria has managed to keep her cool in the tough moments (especially at the end of the match) while Belinda was a bit too emotional.



 

Sharapova. This are the players that will take over

After the match Maria commented “These are the players who will ultimately take our spot, but not just yet! I was really focused today. I knew she has a great game and she’s had a really good season. 


It was our first meeting, but I’m sure we’ll be playing many more times in the future. It’s always great to play against a player who’s been coming up for the first time.”

 
 

Next vs. Serena?

Maria is expected to play her nemesis Serena Williams in the quarters. Head to head is 18-2 for the American that has won the last 17 matches dropping just 3 sets on the way.
