About two weeks left.... ;)

Next Week beigns the fun!

Bump^^

thats quite a scary draw!

Get your revenge !!

If she does play and is Physically Ok i think maybe a semi final. Although if she gets over her last loss well she could be into the final or beyond

Much as I'd love to see her bounce back to win it, I say give it a miss. A break isn't gonna hurt, is it?

But Whatever Maria + team Masha think is best, I'm with them all the way;)

really nice to see so many ppl saying she'l be champ;)

thats quite a scary draw!

That is only the entry list... wait for the draw.... :eek:

Go for broke !!

That is only the entry list... wait for the draw.... :eek:

:lol:



I hope Maria goes all the way here...forget about the love match and be great again!

4th Round, I think :tape:

I can't see her winning this. I can't see her even reaching the semi's.

I will be happy if she will play and is fit, if she plays like that a QF or SF is bound to happen !!

She'll reach the semis or final. Then get murdered 6-0 6-0 by Serena.

Maria should enter unless she is really unwell

http://www.nasdaq-100open.com/draws/Event3Round1Segment4.html

Henin, Molik, Vera all in her quarter! :eek:

Serena in semis if they both get there.

Maria's 1/4 of the draw: :D

Doesn't seem like a bad draw at all !!

She has a pretty tough draw in my Opinion. In her half she has Vera, Justine Alicia and Serena/Venus. If she is OK and on her game she should at least make the Qtr finals if not the Semis. Maria will have some tough matches but i think she can get thru them. Good luck Masha i hope she is OK

Yuck.

Yuck.


Do you have some sort of problem ??

Is that the same Edward there as before?? :D
You seem to making some interesting posts lately Ed :hatoff:

Aren't we a cool bunch of friends?

I am prowd of being Maria Sharapova fan. Hey... we don't have anymore trolls as we use to do in the past. We are on good times. And the good times are also coming for Maria, since she is up to win the Roland Garros in about two months... :D

I feel happy that now our board is prosperous once more...

Thats a nice thing to say. Lets hope Masha can smash the competition at Miami

There may also be some Fed Cup in there too :D

Flooding the board with your endless bullshit does not equate to the board being prosperous.

Do we have anymore Marcova, 12345happy, bernd, or any n00b stalking around? No.

Also, I am not flooding the forum. Some people just never replies. Also the new threads were jsut made up right now in pro of the clay season coming up.

Anyways, our discussion is spamming this thread, and if you are sincerely concerned about my crime, please PM me... Thank you Mr. Day.

Ok. Stop bumping your stupid threads for tournaments that are a long way off, or haven't even confirmed.

End.

Is she playing any doubles?

don't think so

hope not. concentrate on singles till she knows she's back where she belongs. won't be long;) if she has an early exit, maybe enter the doubles?

Maria is gonna kick some ass in Miami !! C'MON Maria !!

I think the awards are going to be confidence boosters..

Her first match is against Daniilidou, she got to the SF last year in Miami, if that's not a test I don't know what is !!

*Tries to feel optimistic about tournament*

Nope. Give up.

Go Maria !! I believe in you !!

Her first match is against Daniilidou, she got to the SF last year in Miami, if that's not a test I don't know what is !!

So the first match already pasted away?

She will play her first match on Friday !!

She'll kick ass for sure!
Go Maria! Good luck!

*Tries to feel optimistic about tournament*

Nope. Give up.
It'll be OK Eddy ;)
Masha seems to be going OK, sounded pretty upbeat in the recent interviews

Maria will be fine she has had quite a few days off and she is ready to show the tour she deserves that Player of the year award. Maria will be out for revenge this week.

dans right ed.....she doesnt seem exhausted at all anymore....i think she wil do lright mate...stay optimistic!

A few days makes no difference.

I refuse to believe she is in ideal shape for this. Physically or mentally.

whatever, Maria is fine and she is gonna show it to you !! Go Maria !! Good luck tomorrow !!

Players are never 100% OK physically its all part of life on the tour. Maria will be fine she wouldnt be here if she wasnt.

A few days makes no difference.

I refuse to believe she is in ideal shape for this. Physically or mentally.

I don't know about ideal, but if she chose to play then she's ready. It's been a week already, and from what I've seen and read from her interviews, she seems fine.
Best of Luck for the match Maria, and the whole tournament ofcourse. :)

I'm sure she "felt" ready for Lindsay too.

She really looked fit and refreshed from the way she played in that match.

Maria will be fine. She just got a huge boost and has had almost a week off and she got to see her mum Maria is great at turning things around and im sure she will.

I'm sure she "felt" ready for Lindsay too.

She really looked fit and refreshed from the way she played in that match.

I think she's admitted that she ran out of energy in that match, didn't find a new gear to fight it out (and the fact that Lindsay just played too well and solid). Days like that are out there waiting for each and every one of us, you know. She has been very positive and open about it afterwards, and really has given nothing to worry about. She's had a week off with family and friends, and is ready to move on as far as I can tell.
I suggest you do the same. :)

Couldn't have said it better !!

lol @ queen Maria + eddy :p

Go Maria !! Kick some ass tonight !! Good luck !!

Another retirement the match before Masha! Lets hope it doesnt have the same effect as the last time....

Match will start anytime now. Good Luck Masha!

yeah, but this time al least the match had already started !! so she should be ready !! Good luck Maria !!

3-0 Maria !!

Maria took the first set 6-0! :woohoo:

Wouldn't it be ironic for another double bagel to occur!

6-0 !! isn't that amazing !! Go Maria !!

Maria is obviously a fan of the saying what goes around comes around. Keep it up Masha

Maria leads 1/0

Game point for a 2/0 lead

And its 2/0 Masha

2-1 second set Maria serving

Masha leads 3/1 keep it up girl

Some match stats 2 aces for Masha none for Daniilidou
Masha's fastest serve is 106 m/ph
and she has 7 winners to 4

Woo Hoo Masha breaks and leads 4/1 in the second set

Maria is going strong !! 4-1 !!

Crap She was leading 4/1 and its about to be 4/3 come on Masha lift your level again. Finish it

As i thought Its 4/3 Masha must have fallen off that supreme level she was playing at

Masha leads 40 15

Masha keads 5/3

2 match points

Its back to duece

c'mon Maria!!!!!

funily enough and quite a suprise Maria has less winners 8 to 11

5-4 !! serve it out Maria !!

Its 5/4 maria will be serving for the match

C'mon Maria!

Masha wins 6/0 6/4

Nice win 6-0 6-4 !! strange that she only had 8 winners !!? Must have played it save I guess, but I'm happy she won and with her first 6-0 of the year !! Go Maria !!

She was really playing so well but Daniillidou really lifted her game in the second set. Maria played well though and this is a good atart to the tournament.

Comfortable win well done Masha. :)

6-0 6-4
Congrats Maria!
Nice to see you back out there, obviously enjoying it. :)
Best of Luck for the next round!

Well Done Masha!!

I'm quite surprised that's her first (positive) 6-0 set of the year.

WELL DONE MARIA!!

Yippee.

don't be so sarcastic Ed, please

Elaborate on what part of my post you found sarcastic, please.

well, you are normally a calm reserved poster who says exactly what he thinks, and would normally have a bit more to say about a win than this. but extatic words like 'yipee'; I don't think they tend to crop up in your posting all that much. + you didn't put an exclamation mark, or a full stop.

The fact is she's playing where you don't think she should be.

Unless I get you wrong, you're being moody, just cheer up a bit;)


(love you really, ed!)

I am being moody. I didn't want Maria to play here. I wish she would listen to her coach. Thats what he's for.

But whatever. Congratulations. :woohoo: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :woohoo: :aparty: :bounce: :bounce:

I'm quite surprised that's her first (positive) 6-0 set of the year.

WELL DONE MARIA!!

Congratulations Maria! I'm glad she isn't suffering any after effects from Indian Wells.

And that wasn't the first time this year that she had a 6-0 set, remember the australian open against Na Li?

Maria looked very nice too she has a pink version now of her Yellow dress. Good luck against Irvin

Great job maria.. it is time to tell 'em that spirit is the only thing that matters....

I think this was Maria's fourth bagel of the year. She beat Lindsay lee-waters 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, Na Li 6-0,6-2, Vento-Kabachi 7-6, 6-0, and now Eleni 6-0, 6-4.

nice stat granny... :)

Maria is up to play against Marissa Irvin..

oh yeah, I forgot about those lol, Good luck against Irvin !!

:woohoo: YEAHHH :yeah: nice one mashaa

Maria's game should be too strong for Irvin, this should be another straight sets demolishion job.

Just wondering Eddy, do u reckon it would areally be better for Maria to have a relatively early exit, so she can get some rest? (not meant to be provocaive, or making a point, just curious)

Another impressive win, This is good for her the shorter the matches the better. Good luck next round

Excellent win Masha well done! :worship: Next up is Shinobu Asagoe - not an easy opponent at all but I think Masha would win in 2 sets.

An interview with:

MARIA SHARAPOVA

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Maria, please.

Q. How were you feeling, or did you have something from when you lost to Davenport?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: It was a long time ago.

I forgot about it. Yeah.

Q. Did you really forget?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Of course, yeah. I won the first set 6‑Love, so you think I remembered?

6-2, 6-0
An interview with:

MARIA SHARAPOVA

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Maria, please.

Q. You've reached the fourth round two years in a row. It seems like last year the loss to Serena went rather easily. But so much has changed in a year. How do you feel from now until then?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Well, I feel like I'm a much more experienced player than I was a year ago. Getting to the fourth round seems a little more normal than it did last year. Mostly I don't have to play a higher seed than me. It's a little bit easier going into a fourth round than it was last year having to play Serena, which was the highest seed.

You know, I'm definitely playing a lot better than I was, and I feel more confident just because of the experience I've gotten.

Q. When you see Justine in the same quarter of the draw, does that make you feel anxious to play her? Have you played her yet?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: No, I don't remember playing her, no. But, you know, every match I'm expecting a tough one. You know, right now I'm just worried about my next one.

Q. Is it odd having these press conferences where nobody asks questions?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: No, actually, it's really good. It's very convenient (smiling).

Q. Were you ever a ball girl?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: No, no.

FastScripts by ASAP Sports...


Not the greatest interviews ever.

her Miami interviews are short and weird ?!

The interviewers are retarded.

"Were you ever a ball girl?"

What a dumbass question.

yeah that is a pretty stupid question....LETS GO MASHA!

Maria beats Asagoe with 6-1 6-2 !! very impressive win !! I saw this match live !! she was really strong and confident in the second set, even did a drop shot lol !! her movement in this match was also very good !! Go Maria !!

:yeah: yeah masha....becuz of the weather postpone in the sawgrass golf pga thing......they played that instead of maria:sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:

Another great win Masha, she has really learnt after IW to conserve her energy for later rounds. Keep it up girl two tough players await.

M. SHARAPOVA/S. Asagoe
6‑1, 6‑2
An interview with:

MARIA SHARAPOVA

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Maria, please.

Q. How did you see the match today inside the court?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: I thought it went well. I was ready for a tough match because the last time I played her, which was in Tokyo, we had a really good second set, which could have gone either way. So I knew I had to be ready this time.

But I thought I did everything pretty well. I served well when I needed to, and I broke her.

Q. Would you like to have a more challenging match in this tournament?
MARIA SHARAPOVA: I think even ‑‑ it just seems like the score has been really easy. I think I've gotten a few challenges in a few games.

I'd rather win like this than have tough matches and physically be ‑‑ feel a little weak next round.

Q. I'm sure that you expect to win this tournament. Do you feel like it's a revenge of Indian Wells maybe?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: I don't think about it as revenge. I just think about it as another tournament in which I want to perform really well and hopefully win.

Q. What happened in that match, what do you feel inside, what happened inside you in that match?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: It was two things: One was that it just wasn't my day. I just wasn't able to find a way to fight, which I usually do even when I'm down, you know, a set and a break or two breaks. I usually find a way to open the door, and I don't think I found a chance to do that at all.

And one thing was that Lindsay was just playing too good, and I wasn't playing well at all. So, you know, when your opponent's hitting winners off both sides, it's hard to find a rhythm. Plus you're making errors when you get a chance to win a point. You know, that's not a great combination, so...

Q. Was it your confidence at some moment in the match?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: It wasn't about confidence. I felt pretty good going into the tournament. I had a big record, I won two titles before the tournament. It was nothing. I think it was just the day. It was just not my day, I mean. It's over, I don't really want to look back anymore.

Q. Who are your toughest opponents that you see in the tournament now?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: I don't. I just try to focus one match at a time. I don't really try to focus on who I might play in the final or whatever. I think every opponent can be a challenge. You just have to be mentally and physically ready for it.

Q. I don't know if you answered this already, but were you aware that your countrywomen both just lost, Kuznetsova and Myskina?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: I had no idea.

Q. You feel like you're holding the banner for Russia today?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Yeah, I hope so.

Q. What does that tell you about the depth of the talent on the tour, when two Grand Slam champions go down on the outside courts in the same day?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Well, you can't win every single day, that's just a fact. You know, it's impossible to win every single match, and it's one of those days where, you know, they lost. And, I mean, everyone's going to have a moment like that. There's only one winner in a tournament. So out of how many people in this draw, they're all going to be considered losers and only one's the winner. Unfortunately, that's just the sport we're in where, you know, you're either the winner, but the chance of that is slim, you know (laughing).

Q. I guess Kim Clijsters is a dangerous floater?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Yeah, she's definitely back. She just won a title and is playing some great tennis. But, you know, after what she's been through and being injured so long, it's great to see her back.

Q. It's possible the Williams sisters will meet in the next round. Before you were like, you know, doing so well, as a fan, did you look forward to those matches, and do you feel like maybe the interest is not quite there as it used to be?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: To tell you the truth, I could care less (laughing). There are other things that I'm more worried about than that.

Resembling a normal interview!

Good to see you again. I think Masha Should win this one quite well.
Hey Andrew :yeah:
...and you were right ;)

Nice 4R win now a big QF against JHH who just beat Molik....should be a huge match and a good chance for Maria to get a good start in the H2H against the former #1 :D :cool:

BTW there sure are some retarded questions being asked to Maria in the last few interviews :lol:

I really dont like JHH so i hope Maria blows her off the court with some awesome power. I can smell a 3 setter. I hope she wins because Aussie Pay TV is showing the Semi finals and Finals
