I read an interesting remark somewhere to day about the QF between Sharapova and Karlimna, which read, "Both from Russian, both are sexy , both shout loud....GO MARIA ! LOL."

| Sharapova clashes with Kirlenko - an all Russian show |
Well it would be unnatural for me to disagree about the statement and like this anonymous messenger, I too would like Sharapova to win, for all obvious reasons !!
Yes it is true that both are Russian and .... and both are Marias - But there is yet another common thing about the two is that they were both born in 1987 - Kirlenko on 25th January and Sharapova on 19th April. This makes Sharapova younger and energetic, though a couple of months do no matter much.
Maria Sharapova, the present World Number 2 beat 21st seed Roberta Vinci in straight and easy sets, 6-2 and 6-1. On the other hand Maria Kirilenko had a tough day with Nadia Petrova, as Nadia after losing the first set to Kirilenko 1-6, struck back and won the second set 7-5. Nadia in fact took the game at 1-5 in the second set and then went on to win the next seven consecutive games to take the set 7-5. But then perhaps ran out of her steam as Kirilenko came back to the game seriously and won the third set 6-2 and won the match 6-1, 5-7 and 6-2.
Well this means Kirilenko has the ability to fight back - something that would be a warning for Sharapova to not to intimidate her fellow countrywoman. This remains to be seen how Sharapova manages to win over the same Russian blood tonight.
The match between both Marias is set to commence 22:00 GMT.
