Russia's Mariaharapova achieved one of her best performances last year, after a suspension of 15 months for doping: Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki lost her title at the Australian Open, the Grand Slam Grand Slam 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 in two and a half hours, Russia getting closer to the best result in the big tournaments after the return of the quarter-finals of French Roland Garros 2018. "I knew that I was going to play a tough match because it was She loves this field. "Sharapova won her first victory in nearly 18 months on one of the top five in the world and Wozniacki now ranks third facing a possible exit of the top ten at the end of the tournament.
Sharapova's victory over Wozniacki had another taste: the Dane was one of the professionals who criticized the way she treated Russia after returning from the suspension of the course organizers and the professional badociation.
"I love winning," said Sharapova, "I am happy and proud of the way I competed today and went to the fourth round.
Sharapova, the former world number one, urged the organizers to be more flexible on the tournament schedule after Spain's Garbin Muguruza played his second-round match against Britain's Johanna Conta late after midnight and in half empty stands.
Mogoruza and Conta competed in the men's five-man match against Margaret & Court. The match began after midnight, at one and a half hour local time, a record for late start for Australia.
The organizers had to face a cynical campaign by the public and sports badysts via social media after the end of the match at 3:32 in the morning, with the victory of two Grand Slam titles.
"I think the reason (not to change dates) is ticket sales," said Sharapova, who has five Grand Slam titles, including the Melbourne Championship in 2008.
