MELBOURNE, Australia
Maria Sharapova is through to the third round at the Australian Open after taking down No.14 seed Anastasija Sevastova in straight sets.
The Russian played a nearly flawless first set before Sevastova made things complicated in the second, but Sharapova prevailed 6-1, 7-6(2) after an hour and 23 minutes.
“She never really lets up,” Sharapova praised her opponent during her post-match press conference. She gets a lot of balls back. That's something that I had trouble with in the previous matches that I played against her.
“I was really happy with how aggressive I was. I was consistent but I was looking to come forward. I played really well at the net, finished the balls off with a swing volley or good volley. Something I've been working on, and definitely improved in the match today
