Defending champion Maria Sharapova was shocked by Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland to crash out of the US Open 2007 on Saturday.

I couldn't wait to read what Sharapova had to say about this disappointment. The most discussed thing about this third round match was Radwanska's excessive moving, or to say dancing, when receiving Sharapova's second serve. According to Maria, it didn't distract her. Moreover, she gave her opponent all the credit. Read the interview for the details.

• Just talk about the last six games because it seemed like everything just fell part.

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Yeah, although I won many games in a row after losing the first and being down 1-0, you know, you'd think I'd have the momentum in the third set with a break.

Thirtieth seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland defeated defending champion and second seed Maria Sharapova 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 to reach the fourth round of the US Open 2007. Wow!

The biggest favorites for the title (Jankovic, Ivanovic, Henin, the Williams sisters) Sharapova couldn’t have faced before the final, since they are all in the upper half of the draw. But it seems that the draw was not easy enough for the Russian.

Sharapova didn’t display her best tennis in the match against the teenager from Krakow, as she made 12 double faults, and 49 unforced errors, while winning only 23% of the points on her second serve. The problems with the serve may be caused by the fact that she had to change her service motion because of a shoulder injury which has been bothering her during most part of the season. Read more »
