Maria Sharapova advanced to Quarterfinal

Maria Sharapova pounded fellow Russian Elena Dementieva 6-2, 6-0, breaking the 11th-ranked player in six of her seven service games, including one at love to finish off the match in 62 minutes.

“I did a good job of just being solid,” the 20-year-old told reporters. “I was seeing the ball well today. Quarter-final of a Grand Slam is not going to be easy, especially when you're playing against someone that's number one in the world.”
