And by "like, an hour" I meant that the match would take 60 minutes on the nose. This one goes 6-1 6-1 to the Russian over Ayumi Morita.
Turns out those consecutive days of play are happening right away. Tomorrow, it'll be Maria Sharapova vs. Peng Shuai, one of the best Chinese players on the women's side. Until then, Peng will be brooding over the fact that Sharapova has tallied 40 winners to her opponents' combined 1 through two rounds. If you're not a tennis person, let me clarify: that's just sick. It means Maria has been getting her racket on even the toughest shots thrown at her, playing strong defense, which requires moving extremely well on a surface (clay) that demands a special skill set of a player's legs.
