Sharapova wins Qatar Open
This year is a real turnaround for Maria - no injuries are holding her back now.
Maria Sharapova defeated Vera Zvonareva 6-1, 2-6, 6-0 yesterday in the Qatar Open final, remaining unbeaten this season and earning her 18th career title.
The Australian Open champion is 14-0, including two wins in the Fed Cup for Russia this year. Sharapova is 9-0 in Doha, where she won in 2005.
“I played five matches in five days and that is not an easy thing to do,” Sharapova said. “I think what I have done is just great.”
Sharapova earned a first-place prize of US$414,000. Winnipeg Sun
