Maria Sharapova soldiers past Sorana Cirstea to advance to Round 3 https://bit.ly/2wDdiJ5 By Scott Sode / Thursday, August 30, 2018 WHAT HAPPENED: Under the lights in Arthur Ashe stadium, 2006 champion Maria Sharapova defeated Sorana Cirstea, 6-2, 7-5, to advance to the third round of the US Open. 莎娃以6-2 7-5勝Cirstea，晉級第三輪。 It wasn’t always pretty, particularly in the first set. Sharapova committed seven double faults in her first two service games, yet still managed to go up a 3-0 lead. Both players combined for 34 unforced errors, and Cirstea used up all her challenges by the second game. Sharapova was just the more solid player when it counted, winning 2 of her 3 break point opportunities, while Cirstea went 0 for 6. 第一盤前兩個發球局，莎娃發了7個雙誤，但仍取得3-0領先。 兩人共有34個UE，Cirstea於第二局用掉所有的挑戰。 莎娃破發率2/3，Cirstea破發率為0/6。 The second set was nearly an inverse of the first: Cirstea finally broke the Sharapova serve, then saved six break points over her next four service games as she began to hit more cleanly and blitzed winners past her opponent. Sharapova withstood the barrage and eventually broke back as Cirstea double faulted on the No. 22 seed's seventh break chance. In the very next game, Cirstea flummoxed the Russian with the pace of her shots and broke right back, but she was never able to hold serve again, handing Sharapova yet another victory under the lights in Arthur Ashe Stadium. 第二盤，Cirstea終於破莎娃的發球局，在自己的發球局救了6個破發點。 Cirstea的雙誤讓莎娃破發成功。 雖然Cirstea破了莎娃發球局，但再來就沒能夠把握自己的發球局。 最終莎娃勝出。 WHAT IT MEANS: Sharapova's win sets up an intriguing third round match with 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko. The two have only played once before, on the clay in Rome, where Sharapova won in a tight three-setter, 6-7, 6-4, 7-5. 第三輪莎娃將對上Ostapenko。 先前於2018羅馬交手，莎娃以6-7 6-4 7-5勝出。 "It was a real battle [in Rome]. It could have gone either way," recalled Sharapova. "It was a really long, physical match. It was our first ever meeting. It was a chance to see and feel each other's game. 莎娃：那真的是苦戰，誰贏都有可能。 那是我們第一次交手，比賽又長又艱辛。 也是讓我們感受認識彼此的打法。 "I was really impressed by her game. She's young and fearless, comes out swinging. She's a Grand Slam champion, so that speaks for itself. She's got that experience in Grand Slams already. I think she likes the matchup of playing against me. Both quite aggressive players. But I do, as well." 我對她的打法印象深刻，她年輕又無畏地揮拍。 也是大滿貫冠軍，這就說明了一切。 她在大滿貫有經驗。我認為她喜歡對上我。 我們都是打法具有侵略性的選手。 我也是。 MATCH POINT: Sharapova now holds an unbelievable 21-0 record under the lights in Flushing Meadows. 莎娃目前在美網夜場勝負比為21-0 --
