  • WTA: Week No. 1

    WTA: Week No. 1

    Maria Sharapova Venus Williams Simona Halep

    The 2015 tennis season started with multiple events in different cities. Brisbane, Auckland, and Perth in Australia, plus Shenzhen in China were all hosting events. All this serving as warm-up to the first Grand Slam of 2015 in Melbourne, Australia.

    The first title of the season went to one of the oldest players on tour. Venus Williams scored her 46th career title in Auckland in a drama-filled three-set encounter against Caroline Wozniacki. The two former world No. 1’s delighted a packed crowd on a bright, windy, sunny afternoon for close to two hours. The final score was 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 in favor of Venus.

    Ana Ivanovic was in the same position as Venus, but she was competing in Brisbane, the only Premier-level event of the week, though Ana was the second seed and across the net was the top seed again. Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic delivered and made the final in a dream match-up. Both former No. 1’s fought for 2 and 1/2 hours before Maria finished first in the three-set match. The first set alone took over an hour. Final score:  6-7(4), 6-3, 6-3.

    With Li Na’s retirement, Shenzhen was left without a defending champion in its third year of existance but WTA delivered two Top 10 stars in the form of Simona Halep and Petra Kvitova. In the end, the two stars delivered. Simona Halep won her first title of 2015, and her ninth overall in a little over an hour via straight sets; Petra Kvitova lost the semifinals to eventual runner-up Timea Bacsinszky.

  • Sharapova Bests Beijing

    Sharapova Bests Beijing

    Maria Sharapova

    Injuries were the early news of the last Premier mandatory event of 2014: the top two seeds both pulled out after quarterfinal match wins due to injuries, but the other two top seeds delivered.

    In a final that featured the top Russian against the top Czech, Maria Sharapova defeated Petra Kvitova in a three set victory. Final score: 6-4, 2-6, 6-3.

    This was Maria’s first Beijing title.  It was also her first win on hard courts since 2013 in Indian Wells.  She now has four titles for 2014, which ties her with Petra, and only trailing Serena Williams, who has six.  The win also boosts Maria’s ranking to No. 2, the highest for the year, and ahead of Kvitova and Halep.

    In a match that featured lots of power hitting, but not many rallies, both players committed more unforced errors than they scored winners, both had five break of serves.  Sharapova only scored three more points than Kvitova in a contest that took 2 hours and 28 minutes.
