I would retire as well, one more step and you could jeopardize your whole season. And the spectators don't want to see you stand there and watch the ball go by just because you want to complete the match.

Hahaha, Maria gets broken on love with nothing but UE's...

And we have a third (this is the time when Meldonium really started to help her)

In the past, pre-meldonium bust, she would now surreptitiously sip from a little black bottle she ensconced in a white towel and proceed to flatten her rival.

They need to get their Stats on Set 2 correct in Doha... how can both have two breaks if Niculescu won the set 6-4?????

Sharapova making so many errors on the Niculescu-slice at the moment... too limited in her skills.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#She can bash like no other, but to see all those parts of the game where Niculescu outclasses her atm. If Niculescu sticks to her current game plan, she got&nbsp; a shot in this match. If she reverts to playing like Maria, she is toast.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Keep the UE's low, and throw all kind of balls at Maria, and make her move.&nbsp; #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

MS needs to up the ante on the screaming to distract Niculescu at critical junctures to ensure victory.
