Maria Sharapova Shocked Out Of US Open
Of her game, Sharapova said, “I made way too many unforced errors. I fought back to get myself back in the match in the third set. I think the first three, four games on every game I had a chance to win that game, whether it was a breakpoint or it was a game point on my serve, and I didn't win those games. When you're done 1‑4 and you get yourself back in a position where can you win again and start making errors, it's just too inconsistent to win the match against her.”
