Tennis: Sharapova serves Cadantu double bagel in Paris Sharapova blew kisses to the crowd after trouncing Cadantu when the latter sent a backhand long on the first match point
A merciless Maria Sharapova whizzed past unheralded Romanian Alexandra Cadantu 6-0 6-0 to book her place in the second round of the French Open on Tuesday. Russian second seed Sharapova was her usual sulky, aggressive self, peppering a sunsoaked Court Suzanne Lenglen with winners to crush the world number 78 in 48 minutes. Sharapova, who has a chance of taking over from Victoria Azarenka as world number one depending of the Belarussian's run in Paris, blew kisses to the crowd after wrapping it up when Cadantu sent a backhand long on the first match point. The Russian, who needs the French crown to complete her grand slam title collection, will next face Japan's Ayumi Morita.
