The Russian woman managed to take the third game, but this is the only one in her favor in the first part. Angelique dominated with his serve and from the bottom of the court.

Kerber helped her in a game that made a few mistakes. Sharapova equalized for 2:2 and played more confidently. But Kerber was just better, he made a new break for 5:3 and then put an end to the match.
