Two match points and a wake-up call for the Russian ace

The Australian Open is throwing hints at us that this will be an amazing year for the hottest grand slam in tennis world, as the No.2 on the ATP World Ranking List Maria Sharapova managed somehow to save two match balls in the duel against the 150th on the ATP world ranking list Alexandra Panova and keep her chances for the tournament trophy alive.

It was a hard battle for Maria Sharapova as she managed to get to the win at the end with 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 – second rounds win against her international friend, the Russian Alexandra Panova in a match where Maria Sharapova brought herself into a position where she had to defend match points with the 51 unforced errors.

The match would have been finished earlier if it wasn’t for some great forehands and hard hits from the ground that saved her from disqualification and Jackpot Bet Online eventually won her the match.
