Can anyone see past a straight sets demolition by Serena? I can't and if she plays like she did against Errani then Sharapova may well suffer the same fate (see: 2012 Olympic Final). It's a real shame she injured herself during the Australian Open, otherwise a greater prize would be on, but I reckon we can give her another year to achieve it.

Sharapova's "Come on!" after every point is disgraceful.

How is it disgraceful? She's clearly fired up for this and wants to win, nothing wrong with it for me.

Ordinarily I'd agree but unless she applies insane level of intensity she will be destroyed.

If winning a single point means that much to her then that says everything. Playing as if every point is incredibly important may well burn her out sooner than later.

Serena in control now.

[User 774433]

Sharapova just simply isn't in her league.

I see we've got the usual boorish French crowd. Luckily Serena's now mature enough to deal with and thank goodness it's not as bad as 2003

Pathetic match, Serena wins without a resemblance of fight from Masha, Vika on finals could have given much better fight, I hope the Men's final won't be an anti-climax like this.
