GO MARIA !!!

WTA Rankings

After Sony Ericsson Open in Miami where Maria played the final (the same result like in 2011) she is on the same position, No. 2 with 7930 points.


GO MARIA !!!

Not her day

Definitely was not Maria`s day. Unfortunately this day was the day when she played the final at Australian Open.

Maria lost the final in straight sets: 3-6, 0-6. Even if she played well in the beginnig when she leaded 2-0 with a break in the first set, her game collapsed and the score says it all.

Overall, a good performance for the first tournament that Maria played this year and what a tournament, a Grand Slam.
After this good performance Maria is No. 3 in WTA rankings.

We are looking forward to see Maria on February 4th in Moscow where she will play for team Russia against Spain in Fed Cup - World Group First Round.

Highlights from the final (VIDEO)

AWSOME !!! AWSOME !!! AWSOME !!!



GO MARIA !!!

Too bad...

Maria lost the final in two sets: 1-6, 4-6. Look at the number of  "Unforced Errors". Too many... too many...

GO MARIA !!!

Sa castigam finala !!!

Sezonul Mariei pe suprafata rapida este unul fantastic, dupa ce Maria s`a calificat in finala turneului de la Cincinnati, dupa ce a invins`o pe Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in 3 seturi: 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. Din pacate, nu am putut sa vezi meciul din cauza orei imposibile

Avand in vedere ca U.S. OPEN-ul se apropie, aceasta forma buna in care se afla Maria nu poate decat sa ne bucure.

In finala, Maria va juca impotriva belgiencei Kim Clijsters, aceasta fiind mult mai odihnita dupa ce a jucat numai 3 game-uri impotriva Anei Ivanovic, sarboaica abandonand. Scorul la general este 4-3 pentru Clijsters, ocazie buna pentru Maria de a egala.


Mingea de meci a Mariei din meciul cu Pavlyuchenkova: 




GO MARIA !!!

Nu`i nimic !

Maria a pierdut finala turneului de la Stanford, fiind invinsa de Victoria Azarenka in 2 seturi: 4-6, 1-6. O victorie destul de clara a jucatoarei din Belarus.

Am avut ocazia sa vad meciul si chiar daca Maria a pierdut, pot spune ca n`a jucat rau, chiar mi`a placut sa vad la ea ca numarul dublelor greseli a scazut foarte mult si mi`a mai placut ceva: faptu` ca a riscat pe loviturile decisive.

A pierdut finala, insa a pierdut`o in fata unei jucatoare care a fost mai buna ca ea, Azarenka aratand o forma impresionanta in aceasta finala.

Urmatorul turneu la care Maria va participa este turneul de la Cincinnati, ce urmeaza sa inceapa pe 7 August.


GO MARIA !!!

Finala in Stanford !

Maria a ajuns in finala turneului de la Stanford dupa ce a eliminat`o in semifinale pe poloneza Agnieszka Radwanska, in 3 seturi: 1-6, 6-2, 6-2 !!!

In finala, Maria va juca impotriva Victoriei Azarenka din Belarus. O jucatorea valoroasa, puternica, ce va opune rezistenta... insa, Maria este intr`o forma mare, cel putin rezultatele arata asta si cu siguranta o sa dea totul pentru a castiga finala. Sa castigi finala primului turneu pe "hard" la care participi anul acesta e ceva...

La intalnirile directe Maria o conduce pe Azarenka cu 2-1, ultimele doua meciuri fiind castigate de rusoaica.



GO MARIA !!!

Finala, nu si trofeul

Maria a pierdut din nou la Birmingham in fata chinezoiacei Na Li, insa de aceasta data a pierdut in finala... anul trecut pierzand in semifinale in fata aceleiasi jucatoare.

Sharapova a pierdut destul de clar, in 2 seturi : 5-7, 1-6.... jucand foarte slab si facand din nou destule duble greseli !

Urmatorul turneu la care Maria va participa este Marele Slem de la Wimbledon.


GO MARIA !!!

One day, two matches, two victories !!!

Maria is in the final of the Internationaux de Strasbourg, after she defeated Anabel Medina Garrigues, in 3 sets: 4-6, 6-2, 6-2... after 2 hours and 32 minutes !!!
It is the second match of the day for Maria, after her victory against J. Goerges !

In the final, Maria will play against Kristina Barrois of Germany. Maria never played against her before.




GO MARIA !!!

Maria in final@Memphis !

Maria is in the Memphis final after she defeated Petra Kvitova from Czech Republic in two sets: 6-4, 6-3 after one hour and 20 minutes.

In the final Maria`s opponent is Sofia Arvidsson from Sweden. They played just once and the score is 1-0 for Maria, but that was long time ago, in 2003.





GO MARIA !!!
