WWW Rome R2: (2) M Sharapova vs C McHale

H2H is 1-0 for Maria.

Last meeting at the 2nd round of the 2009 USO, Maria won 62 61.

With wins over Wozniacki and Kvitova, it's high time she snatched another blonde wig.:silly:

Fuck! I wanted Martha to play the Queen of Junk. :mad: It would have been quite the sight to see the Cow on Ice dealing with that Niculescu's fugly junk. :hearts: Not to mention vocally their match would have been a blast. :drool:

Anyway, McHale is a good opponent to start off the title defense; a decent counterpuncher so Maria will be made to work and find her rhythm.

It is so windy in Rome that everyone will have chances against Sharapova...... Hopefully she will learn how to handle with the wind

Boom! McHale win!

Maria in two easy sets.

This will not be easy for Masha. But she will win. She must.

Of course she'll win.

H2H is 1-0 for Maria.

I'd like to believe that McHale has significantly improved since 2009, and she could give Maria troubles
Still head says Maria, but voted with my heart

Maria should win without any problems.
I just hope the wind won't make it messy.

with sandstorms mchale, without sharapova...

The Petra rule sweeping the WTA

so Maria routined this chick while playing worst tennis in her career and not being able to serve at all...hmm, doesn't look good for McFail

McHale in 3.

Good match-up to practice her point construction. Hopefully she makes it quick.

It is said they have not played since 2009, which is long time
With the Petra rule, there is a possibility your statement will look highly pretentious.

Gods of Rome, bring on the wind:lol::lol:

The wind is more worrying than McHale.

The wind will be McHale friend.
And on this first day, it is windy as I am watching Baghdatis-Fognini

wind 17 km/h during Goerges vs Wozniak , pretty strong wind (

:facepalm: McHale was a baby then.

:facepalm: McHale was a baby then.

Sharapova being such a baby has won Wimbledon , and what about Martina in her baby age of 17?

Maria in 2 hopefully. :unsure:

Considering McHale just won her 1st round match with 37% points won on her 1st serve I don't think the wind will do her any favors either.

Maria VS WTA's youngsters ...

Yeah, an entire two days after McHale had her first main draw win at a WTA event. Amazing logic.

:facepalm: Not you too.

Obviously McHale has gotten a lot better since 2009. Maybe I expect a tougher match than you.

If it's really windy McHale might give Maria a stern test, but I'm still expecting Maria to pull this off in 2.

McHale, you've got this.

McHale shouldn't give 'Pova' any real trouble.

I was thinking that If Serena wasn't around any more, then 'screampova' would probably be at the top of the rankings. Maria has enough power and tennis ability to beat anyone except Serena. If we had women players who could defend like Nole, Andy, Rafa & Federer, and who had excellent tennis abilities, then the women's game would be so much more exciting and unpredictable.

maria will cruise. :hearts:

I pray that McHale can snatch this wig. It would be all too funny. :lol:

Are you stupid? Did you not see all the scalpings Maria got by Azarenka and Radwanska? And if they could defend like men, they would be on the ATP Tour. There are a lot of talented players on tour, they're just inconsistent as hell.

Wow, that would make Serena's wins over Maria pretty meaningless right? What would you do then? Relish on her Azarenka beatdowns?

I root for all the Young Americans when they play top players. Stop trying to make that a personal issue, flop bitch.
