Maria Sharapova defeats Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-2 6-1

Maria Sharapova drops only 3 games and cruises into third round. Sharapova’s road to an eventual second Australian title will be a tough one, as she could face Serena Williams in the quarterfinals, a player she hasn’t beaten since 2004!

Listen to Sharapova vs highlights on Australian Open radio:

Roger Federer defeats Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-3 7-5 6-1

Like Sharapova, Federer did not waste too much energy on court: he beats Dolgopolov in straight sets and only 90 minutes! Federer’s next opponent: Grigor Dimitrov.
