Maria Sharapova Storms into Semi's at Australian Open

Australian Open - Women's Quarterfinal

2 Maria Sharapova d 19 Ekaterina Makarova - 62 62

Ok seriously, girlfriend is mighty stingy losing games this fortnight.

I mean - she has lost a total of 9 games into the Sf's. That's crazy.

This is the '08 champs 6th trip to the Aussie Sf's: 3-2.

Post match: If I start the match well, I want to follow through with that

along the whole way and keep that motivation and the way I'm playing,

doing the right things and keeping that focus. That's the important thing.

It's not to give away a few games.

That's not really the mentality of a winner, I think.
