Maria Sharapova's Tennis News Page 10

 
Maria Sharapova qualifies for Year End Championships

September 5, 2011

Maria is one of the first players to qualify for the TEB-BNP Paribas WTA Championships, which will be hosted at the state of the art Sinan Erdem Arena in Istanbul, Turkey. The WTA's year-end finale, to be held in Istanbul through 2013, will feature the Top 8 singles players and Top 4 doubles teams competing for the coveted title and a share of $5 million in prize money.


After qualifying, Maria said: "I am so happy to have booked my spot in Istanbul.  I haven't been to the year-end Championships since 2007 and I've really missed competing in one of the most exciting and important events of the year. I'm looking forward to making the most of playing in Istanbul."

Maria Sharapova's early exit at the 2011 U.S. Open is a product of the ugly part of her game

September 3, 2011

It is never easy on the eyes watching Maria Sharapova play tennis, no matter how attractive the commercial package. She moves forward on the court like a steaming, stalled tractor and shrieks upon ball contact like a wounded hyena. Her game has all the subtlety of Ashe Stadium, too big and noisy for its own good.


And then there is that other painful thing, no small matter: As steely as she is on pressure points, as willful and focused as she is on those groundstrokes, Sharapova paradoxically can't shake the yips on her serve. Her toss is too high and her delivery too erratic. She rarely gets through a substantial match without producing double-digit double faults, and then yesterday those service errors - and others during rallies - escorted her right out of the U.S. Open with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 second-round loss to the plucky Italian, Flavia Pennetta.

At U.S. Open, Maria Sharapova is latest upset victim

September 3, 2011

FLUSHING MEADOWS, N.Y. — With her steely eyes and ear-splitting shrieks, Maria Sharapova is regarded as one of the fiercer competitors in tennis — remorseless in steamrolling inferior opponents and even more determined when clawing out of deficits.


But with her serve and groundstrokes betraying her far too often Friday at the U.S. Open, Sharapova couldn’t summon the tools to dig out of the hole she’d dug for herself against Italy’s Flavia Pennetta.
