After the match, Maria said: "The first couple of matches are really crucial in terms of working on so many things as a grass court player and trying to make that transition from clay as quickly as possible. The grass is quite different from the practice courts. Once you get out there, you try to focus a little bit more on executing better and not letting your focus go. That has been important in the last couple of matches."
In 3rd Round, Maria will play against Alison Riske of United States. On head to head, Maria leads Riske: 1-0. Their only match was in 2010 in Birmingham on grass, where Maria won in 3 sets: 6-2, 4-6, 6-1.
About her 3rd Round opponent, Maria said: "I feel like her game is suited extremely well for grass," Sharapova said. "She stays down really low, hits really flat from both sides and has had steady results on the surface. It's going to be a challenge. I look forward to playing her."
GO MARIA !!!
