Maria Sharapova only has the French Open title left to complete her Grand Slam career. However, during this 2008 French Open this tennis star doesn’t seem to be on her way to change her luck.
The now top-seeded Russian had a very rough start on the tennis tournament against fellow Evgeniya Rodina, where the struggle wasn’t to win, but avoiding to lose. After more than 2 hours, Sharapova barely made it to the second round, and there were possibilities that Rodina was suffering from some sort of cramps that could’ve affected her performance on the third set. In the end, Maria Sharapova herself admitted that she had some kind of “lucky escape” from being defeated.
So why is it so hard for Maria Sharapova to do well at French Open? Is it the place or does she lack certain skills? That’s a mistery. Some argue that the windy weather has been an important factor at Roland Garros, but still is weird to see the top female tennis player of the world trying so hard to stay on the competition, instead of cruising by the first stages to compete against the best on the finals.
As Maria Sharapova keeps trying to get all this overwith and complete her biggest tennis challenge, the excitement of tennis betting is raising with every matchup.
