Wimbledon day 3

It was a battle of the “beauties” between Argentinian Gisela Dulko against 24th seed, former champion, Maria Sharapova. The first set went fairly easy to Gisela Dulko who played a great relaxed grass game. Great touch and fantastic drop shots that kept a poorly moving Sharapova on her toes. And with 3-0 for Dulko in the second set, it seemed to all be over quickly. But then Maria showed her fighting spirit and won the next 7 games in a row while Dulko seemed to falter under the pressure. Sharapova could not keep up that high level of play though and the third set went very evenly. Sharapova eventually made some critical errors at the net and showed she is technically not a natural and basically gave the match to Dulko. Dulko got tight again though on match points and only at match point number 5, she and the crowd with her had a chance to cheer. End result 6-2 3-6 6-4.
