Fashion-conscious Maria Sharapova produced another dazzling performance in her beloved Paris to reach the French Open semi-finals with a crushing 6-0 6-3 win over German Andrea Petkovic on Wednesday.
The Russian seventh seed, who will take on Chinese sixth seed Li Na for a place in Saturday’s final, needs only to lift the Suzanne Lenglen Cup to complete a career grand slam.
“It’s really exciting to be back in the semis here, in general. I put a lot of work in to be in this stage of the grand slams,” Sharapova, who made it to the last four at Roland Garros in 2007, said.
