It was a well played match by both players but the better player emerged as the champion. And as I said it is always very difficult for any players to beat Maria Sharapova when she is match fit and free on injury. Moreover she was on form for the entire tournament, and that's make it even harder for Ana Ivanovic to beat her.

I thot Ana did give Maria a run for the money in the first set before losing very closely. The second set was almost a white washed when Sharapova put on the turbo and took every shot that was returned to her. Anyway the better player wins the championship.

I hope there will be more to come from Ana Ivanovic ~ the next generation of young players that will surface in the tennis world.
