| Sharapova rallies to stay in US Open Posted: 29 Aug 2011 04:21 PM PDT NEW YORK (AP): Third-seeded Maria Sharapova overcame a slow start to avoid a first-round upset at the U.S. Open on Monday, with a 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Britain's Heather Watson. Sharapova made 58 unforced errors, dropping the first set, then letting a 4-1 lead in the second slip to 5-all. She also led 4-1 in the third, but gave back a break. After that, Sharapova broke right back then served out her match against the 19-year-old Watson, who came into the week ranked 102nd. Watson covered the court nimbly throughout the match but eventually got overpowered by the Russian superstar, a three-time major winner, who is seeking her second U.S. Open title. Sharapova improved her third-set record to 12-0 this year. |
