Sharapova easily entered the fourth circle of Australian Open

The three -time champion of the Bolshoi helmet tournaments easily solved the problem of entering the fourth circle of the open championship of Australia, defeating Angelica Kerber from Germany in the third circle of 6: 1, 6: 2.

Sharapova’s advantage was overwhelming: she won 71% of the points on her first serve, having dealt with the task for the match in an hour and a half. Note that at the current competition, Maria has not lost a single set yet.

“I felt that I was acting quite aggressively. In the first set, I did not give her the opportunity to counterattack, the second was more equal to the struggle. But it seems to me that in key moments I had the right solutions,” Maria commented on the official website of the tournament .

For exit to the quarterfinals, Maria will argue with the German Sabin Lisitska, who was stronger than Svetlana Kuznetsova on Saturday (2: 6, 6: 4, 6: 2).

At the next stage of the tournament, Ekaterina Makarova, who sensationally defeated Vera Zvonarev (7: 6, 6: 1), will play, but Maria Kirilenko with a score of 0: 6, 0: 1 in the dispute with the Czech Petro Kvitovo was forced to refuse to continue the struggle due to the injury.
