Sharapova Shuts Down Acura Classic

by The Editors on August 6, 2007

2007-8-6-75976251Maria Sharapova’s “powerful baseline attack” was apparently too much for Switzerland’s Patty Schnyder as the Amazonian goddess plowed right through to win the 2007 Acura Classic at the La Costa Resort and Spa on Sunday 6-2, 3-6, 6-0.

“In the first set I hit some really good shots when she was serving and that opened doors for me,” Sharapova told reporters. . . In the second set I lost that extra step and once you give her a little edge, she’s going to get a lot of balls back and she’s not going to waste her time. I hesitated for too many balls and I knew I had to step in and hit it again.”

And with that, the Acura Classic is no more. Unfortunately, we were not there to see it. If you were, let us know how it went in the commments.
