Sharapova fought hard to come on top from set down against Schnyder while Jankovic has similar scenario in her match against Venus. These two never met on red clay, surface which Sharapova does not like and her results only confirm that. Sharapova will not be able to hit clear winners on slow court and Jankovic has superb defense.Sharapova will be No.1 as from next week which means that she reached her first goal of the tournament so her motivation level might be on max. Both they have played five times as Masha lead 4-1, but as I said they never played on clay. However I think this will be 3-setter game and too possible tiebreak in third. Sharapova have played for last two months a lot tiebreaks and I think she can take it, so my pick is for her.
