CINCINNATI: Maria Sharapova overpowered Alison Riske 6-3 7-6 at the Cincinnati Masters on Monday to set up a tantalising second-round battle with world No 2 Ashleigh Barty, who defeated the Russian at this year’s Australian Open.
Former world No 1 and five-time Grand Slam champion Sharapova prevailed on her fourth match point to set up the meeting with top seeded Barty. The unseeded Dane had her opportunities but converted just four of her 15 break point chances against Yastremska, who was making her Cincinnati debut. Svetlana Kuznetsova upset 11th seeded Anastasija Sevastova 7-6 6-7 6-4 in their first-round battle to set up a second round clash with Yastremska.
