Sharapova's road to recovery just beginning
WIMBLEDON, England - Deep down, Maria Sharapova believes that her money shots will return sometime soon, that she'll be able to impose herself again and rediscover the right kind of attack and consistency that once brought her to No. 1 in the world.
Wednesday at Wimbledon, Sharapova showed that she's still a long way from the form that made her one the world's most threatening players, even as recently as the start of 2008, when she could tear the cover off the ball and dominate her foes with blitzing serves, returns and groundstrokes.
"There's no real gray area today," said Sharapova, the 2004 champion here. "I had so many easy balls, and I just made unforced errors from those. I don't really know if that's because I haven't played. When I've had those situations before those balls would be pieces of cake, and today they weren't."
Like she did in Paris, Sharapova fought hard, but this time, after snarling back from a 6-3, 3-0 deficit and winning seven straight games, Sharapova lost her rhythm once again. The creative Dulko mixed up her shots, took pace off the ball, served intelligently and passed the tall Russian at the net again and again.
