“I never think about the numbers. I’ve never played tennis for the money, because as long as I enjoy it, and I can achieve anything, then the money will come. I know that things will start coming up, many more people will want to start getting involved. But I just want to keep my head cool, and I want to leave (business) to the people who take care of business. I just go out and I just play tennis.” |

Top seed Maria Sharapova eased into her first Australian Open final with a 6-4 6-2 victory over fourth seed Kim Clijsters on Thursday. The 19-year-old Sharapova continued to struggle with her game, but was too strong for the Belgian making her last appearance at Melbourne Park, sealing victory on her first match point in one hour 23 minutes.
The pair exchanged two early breaks each in a scrappy first set before Sharapova took the Belgian's serve again in the 10th game to secure it in 42 minutes.
Sharapova, the U.S. Open champion, raced into a 3-0 lead in the second set and despite serving eight double faults and making 33 unforced errors the Russian will play unseeded American Serena Williams in the final

the second set was just too one-sided but we sharu fans had a great time watching her win...though clijsters had her chances in the second set she neve4r managed to break sharu's serve.....a power packed final on the cards |

Well done for beating Kim Clisters. It's a great honour to be your fan. God be with you in the finals. I truly belive your serve will serve you well. I really don't doubt that you will win on Saturday in the Final versus Williams. It's only right that you win it. All the best, and good luck Masha!!! |
