While Sharapova avoided the tense finish that accompanied her victory over Caroline Garcia in the previous round, she was pushed hard once again. But, as on so many occasions in the past, she found a way to the winner's circle, eventually seeing off a dogged Woznicki, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
Wozniacki had won the two most recent meetings between the two, most memorably a three-hour encounter at last October's BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global. Perhaps eager to set down an early marker, Sharapova came out all guns blazing on Manolo Santana, pummeling a series of winners to race through the opening two games.
While Wozniacki would eventually get on the scoreboard, that would be her only contribution to the scoreboard in the first set
