Garbine Muguruza v Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova

Taking Sharapova from the off here at 1.24. SHe is in fine form and despite a 1st set wobble against Sam Stosur came back very strongly. She has only lost to Ivanovic on clay since last years final loss to Serena William here at Roland Garros and with Serena out, will surely go one better this time. Muguruza has played well but is in a different class. 2-0 Sharapova was tempting at 1.80 was tempting but just in case I've gone for the win.

1*-0 Broken to 15 in the 1st game!
2-0* Consolidated with a hold to 30
3*-0 Shocking start again from Maria! Broken to 30.
4-0* Will someone give a shout to the locker rooms! Maria was due on court 15 minutes ago!
4*-1 It's OK she has just realised she's on Philippe Chatrier not Suzanne Lenglen.
5-1* Had a BP in that game but Garbine holds.
6-1 Well that was unexpected!

Now the question is will Maria now shift up a gear? She can't play any worse! Or do I switch? Hmm decisions decisions!

Muguruza to serve first so I will stick with Maria now. Hoping for a break straight away.

1-0* Holds from 30-30. Now can Maria hold? If not it may be over and money done already!
1*-1 Now let's step it up Maria.
1-2* A couple of double faults helped but we have the break. Now kick on!
1*-3 Ace seals the game. Playing better but still not dominating.
2-3* Hmm holds from 15-40. That could have been Maria's set there!

Not trusting Maria to hold here so going for a quick switcheroo!

1-0* Well I back Sharapova and she loses 4 straight points!

1*-1 A bit iffy but holds to 30.

1-2* and there's the break! odds at 1.18 are too high for me to think about greening out. Hoping for the hold! Gulp!

1*-3 I was right to ulp! 5 BP's saved but holds. Odds now 1.17?!? If I wasn't already in I would be all over that at this score.

1-4* at the third time of asking Sharapova converts the BP.

1*-5 Holds to 15. Feel a bit sorry for Muguruzu. She needs to hold here or the score won't really reflect the match.

1-6 Broken to 15 for GSM
