Sharapova, Ivanovic move into Australian Open women's final 3 hours ago
MELBOURNE, Australia - A year after losing the Australian Open final in embarrassing fashion to American Serena Williams, Russian Maria Sharapova is looking unstoppable in her quest for a third Grand Slam singles title.
But if it doesn't happen in Saturday's final at Melbourne Park against Serbia's Ana Ivanovic, she won't lose too much sleep over it.
"From the beginning of the tournament, you want to go a step further than you've done in the past," Sharapova said after her 6-3, 6-1 semifinal win over Jelena Jankovic on Thursday.
"That's always your goal, and your mantra going into a tournament. If it's not this Saturday ... if it doesn't happen, hey, it's life."
The way Sharapova is playing, she can afford to be introspective - six straight-set wins, including one that ended No. 1 Justine Henin's 32-match winning streak in the quarter-finals.

If there wasn’t likely to be so much inspired high pitched grunting, I might put the TV on mute.

Hubba-hubba!
"inspired high pitched grunting" is spot-on.

I love tennis. Or whatever it’s called.

TURN UP THE TV VOLUME for this match. Two of the biggest grunters there are. You would think they are engaging in some other activity if you go by the sound.
