Maria Sharapova breezed into the third round of the Madrid Open on Tuesday, ousting the Czech Republic's Klara Zakopalova in straight sets. The Russian world No. 2 took less than 80 minutes to dispatch the world No. 44 , 6-4, 6-3, continuing a dominant run of form that saw her beat world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka in the Stuttgart final last month. Next up for Sharapova, who demolished Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu 6-0, 6-3 in the first round, is Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro or another Czech in world No. 23 Lucie Safarova. The $5.2 million Madrid Open is being played on blue clay that has attracted criticism from some players as acting differently to the traditional orange surfaces.
