Maria Sharapova from Russia has been churning out consistent results in the tournaments this year. She will be playing Petra Martic from Croatia. Both the player are ranked out the top 10 among the WTA Rankings.
The experienced Russian and former number one Sharapova did great this month with a semi final appearance at Indian Wells as she lost to number one Caroline Wozniacki who turned out to be the eventual winner. She is ranked at number 13 among the WTA Rankings and will be hungry for a title win.
Petra Martic from Croatia has been clicking at top standards. Martic has taken challengers in her stride, but then she is striving hard for wins in the qualifying rounds of the WTA tournaments. Her main objective would be step into the top 100 and continue on a steady path towards progression. She is ranked at number 106 among the ATP rankings.
Both the players have never met in the tournament. Sharapova will definitely use her forehands and tactical backhands in the game but should try and keep her serves on the right path. On the other hand Martic can be a dangerous player armed with speedy wheels around the court. Sharapova should be able to take this one in straight sets on a good day of match play.
