Maria advances
After that tough match against Knapp, Maria struggeled a little bit in second set against Alize Cornet of France, but she managed to win her 3rd Round match at Australian Open in straight sets: 6-1, 7-6.
Maria said: "Of course everyone that played a long match in those conditions is going to feel physically and emotionally tired, but you have to find a way to get through it. That's what I did.
"It was quite tough in the end today. She had a set point and a chance to level the match out. And I probably wouldn't want to go to a third set. So I was happy that I was able to finish it off in two."
In 4th Round, Maria will play against Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia. On head to head, Maria leads Cibulkova: 3-2. Their last match was in 2011 at Wimbledon, where Maria won in straight sets: 6-1, 6-1.

I`m really happy to get through today. I really am. I worked really hard in the last few months and I wanted this match . I didn`t play my best tennis, I didn`t do many things well. But I got through it."
