Maria out of Roland Garros

June 7th, 2007

Maria is out of Roland Garros after she lost to #7 seed Ana Ivanovic of Serbia.�Maria lost 6-2 6-1�in 1 hour and 5 minutes�in the semis.

Even though Maria lost today, she has had her best ever result here on clay in reaching the semis.� Now Maria's favorite time of the year is upon us, the grass season!

Ivanovic broke Maria twice in the 1st set to lead 5-2 and then again to take the set 6-2 on a double-fault from Maria.

Maria will remain #2 in the rankings when they are released no matter what happens in the rest of the tournament.

it's very frustrating that she lost. she had a bad game but i'm not sure if that's due to her shoulder injury..there's so many unforced errors and it seemed that Ivanovic just dominated the entire match.maria didn't had her game going.. well, let's just hope for the best for maria in the coming grass season!

I dont think Maria had the right approach coming to this match. She should�ve been more patient are smarter instead of going for the winners all the time. It�s very sad, but i hope she will learn something from this.

Good luck at wimbledon

Hey Maria, I know clay is not your court, but I think you did very well. Always look ahead for better times. Good luck

maria just went for too much. but did good at tournament, it waould have been much to ask for a final. really should have losst in the 4th round. but shes a fighter. she needs to heal 100% i dont understand that why doesnt she just let the shoulder heal properly, i wont ever get that one.

SERVICE IS A HOLY THING!!!!
God is a witness how I do adore you and your play. Marija, if we return a little bit in the past , you will see that those hard defeast by Serena and Ana Ivanovic are selectively reasons of your bad service, which doesn\'t, serve you well. Maria,I am a man of reality and it is not clear to me how you ,with the highth you have ,can\'t serve 200 and over km per hour, not making many double service faults. All the players, top players,you had won convincingly-you had defeated them owing to the strong service.Maria,in the moment you have a service , as Serena and over had,and stronger,190km,192,195,200,204,
208..... etc.No one in the world will not be able to beat you! If anyone knows,I would really like to know,let him/her tell me how it is possible the elder sister Williams so fragile in costruction,differently from Serena,can serve over 200/kmh.I don\'t know if it is the matter of your coach or something else, but one thing I must say: \"After your hard defeat by Serena and Ana,I would like to slepp and being awakened up again-I would like to hear my mother ,father,or a friend to tell me the following; Maria Sharapova placed the service of 200km/h and over and degraded all her rivals...anyway I am afraid that such mitakes could happen because no world expert can persuade me that you can\'t have the service of 200km/h and over, just Serena and Ana. To every evel - the end comes.It will come to your agony, the agony of your hard defeast.I, myself, will live to see your service of 200km/h and more.That is my oath. It must come sooner or later, and please , don\'t let them degrade you. I live for the day to get the nick name \"miss ace\"\". Best regards, and a lot of greetings from your fan ZORAN GVOZDENOVIC Republic Srpska
