Maria Sharapova - Queen in Memphis !!!

Maria has won her 1st title of 2010 and her 21st career title at the Cellular South Cup in Memphis.  Maria defeated Sofia Arvidsson 6-2 6-1 in 1 hour and 6 minutes in the final.


The match lasted 66 minutes. Maria was dominating on her serve, winning 81% of points on first serve and 59% on second serve, and she saved all 3 break points she faced throughout the match. By comparisson, when Arvidsson was serving, Maria won 41% of points on first serve and 75% on second serve, and broke 4 times, out of 5 chances.


Maria's game was consistent in both sets, in the second set, she served better, landing 70% of first serves in, comparing to 57% in the first set, but other than that, her performance both on the serve and the return was pretty consistent.


In the new Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings to be released on Monday, Maria will move up to #13 (her highest ranking since coming back from shoulder surgery last May).
