Sharapova, Ivanovic to clash in Brisbane final

Brisbane, Australia (SportsNetwork.com) – Former world No. 1s Maria
Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic will do battle in Saturday’s final at the season-
opening $1 million Brisbane International tennis event.

The final berths were secured when the top-seeded Sharapova defeated rising
Ukrainian Elina Svitolina 6-1, 6-3 and the second-seeded Ivanovic held off
game American Varvara Lepchenko 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 at this Australian Open tune-up
on the hardcourts at Queensland Tennis Centre.

Sharapova dropped just nine games in her three matches to get to the final and
was ruthless against Svitolina, the 2010 junior French Open titlist.

“I expected her to play well. I think I did a lot of things good to try to
take away her game,” Sharapova said.

“In the end, it became a little bit more difficult. She became more free, went
for her shots a little bit, a few unforced errors from my end, but overall I’m
happy I stuck with it and finished the last point.”

When the reigning French Open champion Sharapova and Ivanovic meet on
Saturday, it will mark their 14th encounter on the WTA, with the Russian
leading the lifetime series 9-4. They split four meetings last season.

Sharapova beat Ivanovic in the 2008 Aussie Open final.

The 27-year-old Sharapova is 33-22 in her career finals. including 4-0 in
2014.

Her fellow 27-year-old Ivanovic is 15-7 in her career title tilts, including
4-2 last year.
