So I really thought that Maria Sharapova was going to win the US Open due to the fact that there were not a lot of competition but it seems that her long absence from the game has been bad for her. She was beaten by Anastasija Sevestova.
Maybe she is already past her prime?
I really though the she has a good chance to win as well. But in this match Sharapova has committed a lot of unforced error. Sharapova took the first set against Sevastova before slowly wearing down over the remainder of the match. She committed 51 unforced errors and five double faults, I don't know if you can won with that so much unforced error in your end. I think we should give her a leeway since this is his first tournament after serving his suspension.
M. Sharapova journey over in US open. She lost the match against A. Sevastova, as you said she won the first set by 7 - 5, this time many gamblers put a bet on her that she will win and move next round, but unfortunately, she lost next 2 sets by 4 - 6, 2 - 6. But she tried to win this game after a long gap she is back right, so she is struggling to play. But Sevastova played well and won this match congrats.
I felt that they are treating her differently in this US Open. She even had a match in the center court already which seems to me very unfair for those who have been ranked better than her. I guess the organization is capitalizing on her, with her good looks, a lot of fans are still wanting to see her. Her titles should have been put as * as well, not taken back but may have been tainted because of her being positive for a banned substance. I guess they are very lenient because she is a crowd drawer and tennis, just like other sports are business.
All won but the odds were decreased to 3.5 because Monfils withdrew
