Sharapova eases into Madrid 3rd round
Print Edition
MARIA Sharapova advanced to the third round of the Madrid Open by beating Mariana Duque-Marino of Colombia 6-1, 6-2 yesterday.
The third-seeded Russian broke Duque-Marino’s serve four times while saving three break points on her own serve.
Fourth-seeded Petra Kvitova also advanced, beating Coco Vandeweghe of the United States 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 but it was a big struggle for the hard-hitting Czech, who missed the Indian Wells and Miami tournaments because of exhaustion and suffered a first-round exit on indoor clay in Stuttgart last month.
Kvitova was also taken to three sets by Belarus’ Olga Govortsova in the first round.
Former runner-up Victoria Azarenka set up a third-round clash with top seed Serena Williams with a 6-3, 6-3 defeat of Croatian Ajla Tomljanovic.
Topping the early men’s program yesterday was Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov and French showman Gael Monfils, both of whom enjoyed easy victories on the red clay.
Tenth seed Dimitrov was 6-4, 3-0 ahead when American opponent Donald Young quit with an injury while Monfils dropped only two games against Serbian Viktor Troicki.
Top seed Roger Federer was not in action.
