Launching a powder peach version of her glamorous, and expensive, black Nike Riccardo Tisci dress, and pairing it with black Nike sleeves, Maria Sharapova passed a very tough test against Timea Babos to reach the third round of the US Open, 6-7(4) 6-4 6-1.
After winning the blockbuster opener against Simona Halep, wildcard Sharapova’s position shifted from “no pressure” to “all pressure”, as her victory over the world No.2 raised the expectations of the tennis community, proving that her fighting spirit paired up with her experience and even average form can do wonders.
