Sharapova survives against Li

New York - Maria Sharapova put down a first-set rebellion from China's Li Na, recovering from a 4-1 deficit to eventually post a 6-4, 6-2 win Monday into the quarter-finals of the US Open. Sharapova, seeded third, lined up a match against Russian-born Frenchwoman Tatiana Golovin, who defeated Russian Anna Chakvetadze 6- 3, 6-2. Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion, has now beaten the Chinese number 22 in all four of their meetings. The winner overcame six double-faults and 25 unforced errors in a modest performance lasting 78 minutes. Sharapova stormed back with four breaks of serve. The Russian will be aiming to repeat her 2005 semi-final at Flushing Meadows in the next round, hoping to improve upon a mark of nine final-four appearances in 10 events prior to the last Grand Slam of the season. Sharapova won her 44th match of the season against eight defeats. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
