Sharapova reaches the final after completing two matches back to back.
by bahamaderek on May.21, 2010, under Maria Sharapova
Top seed Maria Sharapova will face unseeded German Kristina Barrois in the final of the Strasbourg International after a busy day’s play on Friday.
Sharapova, who beat Julia Goerges in her delayed quarter-final in the morning, beat Anabel Medina Garrigues 4-6 6-2 6-2 to secure her final spot.
In the other semi-final, Barrois came from a set down to beat America’s Vania King 2-6 6-2 7-6 (8-6).
Sharapova reached the last four with a 7-6 (7-2) 6-1 win in her earlier match.
Her aim was to gain match competition and to have plenty of time on court. She achieved both goals, and even though the event lacked any top players, she looked in better form than she was 3 months ago. She will be a tough opponent at the French Open for somebody!
