Sharapova wins Slam return

Sharapova wins Slam return

Jason 2017-09-04 15:48:04
NEW YORK - 2006 champion Maria Sharapova knocked out No.2 seed Simona Halep of Romania in a three-set thriller to advance into the second round while all the Chinese players advanced in the Day 1 actions of the US Open on Monday.

It was Sharapova's first Grand Slam match since a quarterfinal loss to Serena Williams in last year's Australian Open, when she tested positive for the newly banned heart drug meldonium.

After a 15-month doping ban, the former world number one Sharapova returned in April but the French Open snubbed Sharapova for a wildcard entry and she missed Wimbledon with a thigh injury.

"It's all worth it. You sometimes wonder why you put in all the work. And this is exactly why," a tearful Sharapova said in her on-court interview. "I just thought this was another day, another opportunity, another match but this was so much more."

Only a handful of points separated the pair as Sharapova, into the year's final Grand Slam on a wildcard, overcame a second-set letdown to outhit Halep 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 after the marathon two hours and 44 minutes match.

In the first set both players were struggling in respective serves, Sharapova had three breaks, one more than Halep, to take the opening set. After leading by a set and 4-1 in the second, the Russian star showed some fatigue and rust, dropping five games in a row. But in the third, Sharapova regained control by going ahead 3-0, using her power to keep two-time French Open runner-up Halep under pressure. After that, she never looked back.
