(Rank/Seed)
She was fantastic from the start and she never stopped. (3/2) Sharapova thrashed (10/8) Wozniacki 62 62 as I predicted to win her second career Indian Wells title, and first title of the year.
1st Set
Breaking in the first game, Maria raced ahead. She broke her opponents serve twice, hitting four aces and only one double fault, whilst saving both break points against her. Wherever she wanted to hit a winner she did and Caroline was just hanging in the games.
2nd Set
The theme of the match continued as Sharapova crushed winners everywhere. Wozniacki did well to win two games and got close in a long seventh game.However, unlike in her semi final, which saw her win that pivotal game and switch the momentum, here she was finally broken and Maria served out to love. Sharapova finished with 33 winners to only 25 unforced errors, compared to Wozniacki's 2:19 ratio and wasn't broken once!
Overall, Maria won the title without dropping a set as is now the number two. She stands a good chance of doing the Indian Wells:Miami double too!
