Sharapova, Maria won Qatar Open by overpowering Alicia Molik
|
Maria Sharapova overpowered Alicia Molik 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 and won the $600,000 Qatar Open along with the title. After the match he simply said: "I was always positive, even after losing the first set, I had a good game." However, the start of the match did not favor Sharapova confidence and she lost it quite easily to Alicia Molik 4-6.
Molik who gained fresh confidence in herself after beating Amelie Mauresmo of France put an aggressive fight from the start.
Sharapova did not badge to it and regained self confidence in her own serve at the middle of the second set and never looked back. Molik tried to put another fight after she saw Sharapova come back by scoring 4 aces but it was not enough to brake Russian Maria Sharpaova march. She finally claimed Qatar title after easily winning last set of the game.
The Australian world number nine Molik, who had beaten Sharapova in the Zurich final last year, thought she could do it again, but did not succeed. We should point out that Russians and Australians are often contend for the final title. Earlier this year Marat Safin upset Hewitt and now Sahrapova upsetting Molik.
