What are we going to do about Maria ........

..... if she doesn't win a Grand Slam semi soon ?

I have a feeling that day is at hand, standing between her and a place in the final is Amelie Mauresmo, who beat her at the same stage ,at Wimbledon.

To my eyes, the Frenchwoman, who has been very profitable for us this year, is a little short of her very best. She made very few unforced errors against Safina, eleven if I recall correctly, but Sharapova is a whole different level.

I think nerves will come into play, they always will with these two, but the way I view the game, is that Sharapova had chances to win at Wimbledon, infact, she looked the more likely to, for some time. Now Mauresmo is not as strong and having watched the interview with Sharapova after her quarter final win, I detected a calmness and confidence, in the young Russian.

3 points Sharapova to beat Mauresmo 2.36 betfair.

Good Luck.
