Maria Sharapova Interview After Win Over Vesnina - WTA Masters 1000 Miami 2013[Sony Open] Maria Sharapova Interview After Win Over Vesnina - WTA Masters 1000 Miami 2013[Sony Open] Maria Sharapova vs Elena Vesnina WTA Miami 2013 Sony Open Tennis 2013 Final 6-2 Maria made far less unforced errors in comparison to her rival -- She collected 27 slip-ups and Vesnina ended up making 35 blunders. In totality Sharapova won 73 points, whereas Sania Mirza's former partner pocketed only 63. The four times Grand Slam champion took the seesaw opening set in 64 minutes after both the ladies were engaged in a long drawn battle for supremacy. In the end it was Maria who kept her cool when it mattered the most as she came up with the goods in the clutch situations of the set, especially whenever she was put under the gun on her serve. Elena certainly utilized every shot in her armor, still she came out the second best because when the push came to shove for the superstar she clenched her fist and became much more determined to have the final say in that set. Match Cast: Sharapova vs. Vesnina! Moreover, Vesnina was left ruing the missed opportunities that she had on Sharapova's serve as she broke her only once out of the six break-points that were offered to her. The other significant factor was the unforced errors -- while the Florida resident made only 5 unforced errors, her rival wasn't that consistent as she committed 12 such mistakes. The slugfest continued in the second set as well, and it was the world no.2 who broke through first as she forced Elena to present her three break-points in the 3rd game when errors crept into the Vesnina game. The world no.32 saved the first two, but wasn't able to save the third one and with that Sharapova surged ahead to 2-1 with a crucial break of serve. Sharapova quickly made it 4-1 after she got that cushion break in the 5th game as a visibly deserted Vesnina was left clueless by the reigning queen of Paris' strategy of taking the ball on the rise. Moments later the most marketable female athlete in the world closed out the match with her winner no.18. It was a predictable outcome as during the last stages Vesnina's shoulders had fallen, the feet were not moving into the right position and the body language wasn't looking that great either.
