Super Masha!
Maria played a remarkable tournament. She managed to beat Sam Stosur in an epic three set, Kvitova in straight sets and now she trashed Victoria Azarenka in 84minutes with a display of a remarkable tennis.
The match wasn’t as tough as predicted. The first set ended after only 30minutes with a clear scoreline: 6-1.
In the second set the Belarus tried to fight back, but the she was broken in the 7th game. Sharapova then held her service games twice to win the second set 6-4.
“In such a tough tournament with difficult opponents, it was a good week,” said Sharapova, whose victory came in 84 minutes. (Azarenka) was injured today (wrist injury), maybe she could not perform well but I am happy to be the champion here this year. I was going to use this event as a warm-up (to the clay court season) so I did not come much earlier. Maybe I should continue doing it like that.”
“Obviously I am not happy, but congratulations to Maria,” said Vika . “Still it was a good week for me.”
Maria walks out with a nice check and a wonderful car.
Well done to Maria and to the tournament organizers. That was remarkable!
