Ashleigh Barty will next face Anett Kontaveit after defeating Maria Sharapova at the Cincinnati Masters.
But an error-prone Sharapova bowed out after she produced six double faults and squandered six of her seven break point opportunities.“It’s difficult to come out against a player like Maria. She’s an incredible champion, she knows how to fight and she makes you earn every single point. Sharapova fought hard the next game, forcing seven deuces but was unable to break and Barty cruised to the finish from there, winning 11 of the last 13 games.Wimbledon champion Halep had her back against the wall against the big-serving Alexandrova when she dropped the first set and trailed 5-4 in the second but won the next three games and elevated her play again in the decider.
“I feel confident every time I come here but the conditions are very tough. The court is very fast,” the Romanian said.
