006 US Open champion Maria Sharapova was sent packing today by Flavia Pennetta 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. It took two hours but Sharapova, who hasn’t played particularly well this week, was unable to maintain her intensity and accuracy for long periods.
In the last few months Sharapova’s game has been littered with a huge number of unforced errors and today’s tally of 60 was no different. Maria later said, “I didn’t feel comfortable with most of my game today.”
