At first glance, Sharapova is hardly worth worrying about the result of the match in the third round. Still Pavlyuchenkova significantly inferior to her in the classroom and in the experience. Only previously appeared that Anastasia has challenged before Mary fairly complex tasks that are not always addressed. Moreover, on the eve of the Russian prima held crazy three-set match against American Madison Keys, while Pavlyuchenkova on one-two-three sorted out with the Italian Karin Knapp.
However, in the opening match Maria looked perfectly and literally crushed her compatriot barrage of powerful and, more importantly, accurate punches. And feed Sharapova went like clockwork. Only 20 minutes have passed since the first blow, and the score is already shining figures of 4: 1 in favor of the sixth planet racket. It would seem that the arguments set to win without interference. Besides, Pavlyuchenkova was clearly not at ease. Anastasia did not expect at first, that Mary will play not only powerful, but also very serious. Especially Sharapova did manage crosses the right and the left. Muscovite antidote for the time could not find, but she came to help Mary herself, greatly slowed down. And indeed Pavlyuchenkova finally managed to keep pace ultraboundary given her opponent. Sharapova tried to act more quickly, but that only increased the number of errors. Another 20-minute passed, and Anastasia returned break. In the next two same gameness strongest Russian tennis player again groped his game and gave only one point.

It seemed that the most difficult thing for Sharapova is already behind us, and the second game will be a formality at this meeting, but Pavlyuchenkova, acting as a “Sprite”, not given to dry affair. Moreover, Anastasia was obliged to bring the matter before deciding. Three times during the set, she took delivery rivals, but to break away and could not. Sharapova literally did not give the opponent to take a breath, immediately making rebreyk. Last Chance Pavlyuchenkova missed in its filing with the score 6: 5. And because the game-it’s great, but what is good in this moment was Mary. Three drawings she took the glasses gorgeous blows and managed to bring Anastasia balance. The transition to a tie-break and did a double mistake was decorated Muscovite.
At this resistance Pavlyuchenkova actually disappeared. Yes, she started 13th game with a mini-break, but then lost five balls in a row. In this situation could be saved only in theory. In practice, Sharapova “with feeling, really, with the arrangement,” brought the matter to the final victory. Only in the quarterfinals of the first racket of Russia expects much stronger opponent, namely Romanian Simona Halep, who beat Lucius Safarova of the Czech Republic.
