Williams to meet Sharapova in WTA champs final
On Monday, Serena Williams will face Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova in a rematch of their final in London after the Russian overcame a shaky first set to ease past compatriot Anastasia Myskina 2-6 6-2 6-2 in the second semi-final.
Sharapova had lost to Myskina in their three previous meetings, but after a shaky first set, the 17-year-old blasted her weary opponent off the court. The Wimbledon champion was given a warning for coaching in the fifth game of the second set at 30-30, after her father Yuri was clearly heard yelling instructions at her. "He always coaches her," Myskina said. "Most of the coaches tell you to do something in the match."
"I usually don't want to communicate, but sometimes I let my emotions out," she said. "It's not the coach who's playing out there. I always play by instinct and do the opposite of what people tell me to do." At Wimbledon, Sharapova stunned two-time defending champion Williams 6-1 6-4, although the American said she never showed up. "I don't know who that was, but I wasn't at Wimbledon this year," Williams said. Sharapova was confused by the comment. "In reality there was one, but she might not have been in reality," Sharapova said. |
