Sharapova blows past Davenport
Maria Sharapova beat Lindsay Davenport 6-1, 6-3 Wednesday night to move into the 3rd round of the Australian Open against. Sharapova will play a fellow Russian: Elena Vesnina. Davenport was only five tournaments into a comeback after giving birth to a baby boy last June. Seven month old Jagger was in the stands to watch Mom play and "I thought I saw her little kid giving me dirty looks," Sharapova said. Sharapova played a very disciplined match where she never faced a break point. Sharapova also broke for the fourth time when Davenport committed an unforced error on second match point. "Tell you the truth, I approached it like it's a final," said Sharapova. You probably don't get to see too many second rounds where you see two Grand Slams champions, former No. 1s playing against each other," she said later. It was good to see Sharapova in good form and Davenport back on the courts. Posted by Steve in New York
