Sharapova Through To Second in Sydney

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42463000/jpg/_42463518_hands416.jpg

Maria Sharapova is through to the second round after defeating Venus Williams in the first round of the Sydney Medibank International. She will next face world's number 1 Daniela Hantuchova, who is also her former doubles partner. She will be playing with Casey Dellacqua this week and they will share the number 1 seeding with Agnes Szavay and Daniela Hantuchova. Sharapova and Williams were the opening match of this year's Sydney Medibank International and there were only two matches done today and in those two matches, both Williams sisters were eliminated. The other matches were suspended due to rain.

Venus Williams started the match well holding her serve and breaking Sharapova straight away. But Sharapova fought back form 3 game points down to break straight back to level it back on serve. Sharapova held her serve and both women held serve until 4-4 when Sharapova stepped it up another gear to break again and had the chance to serve out the first set. Sharapova hit 2 aces to start the game and hit a forehand winner to give her 3 set points. Venus saves one with a backhand winner but lost the next one when Sharapova hit another service winner.

The second set was almost the same as the first set, with Venus breaking Sharapova straight away in her first service game but this time, she didn't get broken back. At one point Venus had a 5-2 lead and had 1 set point. Sharapova saved that set point with an ace and after that, she was never down in a game. She won the last 5 games with losing only 2 points.

Some statistics from Sharapova:
89% First serves in
92% Second serves in
82% First serve points won
71% Second serve points won
9 Aces
2 Double faults
27 Winners (including service)
10 unforced errors
