Maria Sharapova Wins French Open Tune-Up in Dominating Fashion
Maria Sharapova has had a rough two years as she has dealt with injuries and poor performance. Don't look now but she is playing some of her best tennis in a long time.
On Sunday she defeated Sam Stosur rather easily to capture the Rome Masters, but it was more about her opponents struggles than the superb play of Sharapova.
The big win was in the semi's against No. 1 player in the world Caroline Wozniacki. She was completely dominated by the Danish star in two previous matches and needed to get the monkey off her back.
Steve Tignor of Tennis.com talks about her dominating performance:
Sharapova had the breakout tournament that her fans have been, at various times, hoping for, expecting, and writing off, for the better part of two years, and she did it because the baseline bombs that she had been missing during that time were detonating just inside the lines again.
