Sharapova suffers shock defeat
Two-time defending champion Maria Sharapova was sensationally defeated at the DFS Classic today, ending her 13 match win streak at the Edgbaston Priory Club. 19 year old American sensation Jamea Jackson stunned the top seed winning 6-4,6-4 in 1 hour and 33 mins.
Today’s defeat was only the fourth time Sharapova has lost a match on grass during her short career. Jackson was also the lowest ranked player to defeat the Russian since August 2004.
Sunday’s final will be Jackson’s first ever final on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. The world number 81, originally from Atlanta, Georgia, shocked Sharapova with a series of stunning backhand winners.
