Azarenka V. v Sharapova M.

Have to with Azarenka in this match. She's better player on clay as Sharapova not the best on this surface although she can also play. She had an easy win against Peer yesterday dropping just 4 games in total. But Peer was poor match-up and really could not beat Sharapova from the baseline. Azarenka has got more power than the Israeli player and will be hitting the ball as hard as she possibly can. Playing three sets last night against Pavlyuchenkova is not the best way to prepare for Sharapova and one extra set was not what I would be looking if I was Azarenka but things like that happen from time to time. Azarenka has got very good record against Sharapova and leads their H2H series 3-2. She won their last two matches 6-1, 6-4 and 6-1, 6-4 both on hard. They haven't played on clay yet, so this will be their first match on red brick. I think for this match Azarenka is fairly a favorite and can outhit Sharapova from the back of the court, has got more options in defense and obviously makes less unforced errors.
