Wimbledon 2013 | Maria Sharapova v Michelle Larcher de Brito June 26, 2013

Wednesday's second round clash is likely to have spectators reaching for their earplugs as two of the game's biggest shriekers step out on court Maria Sharapova is famous for raising the decibels on the tennis court with her familiar shriek known to leave audiences reaching to protect their eardrums. 

But she has a rival in the screeching stakes in the form of her Wimbledon second round opponent Michelle Larcher de Brito. The 20-year-old Portuguese no.131 is better known for her high-pitched howls than her tennis and has even been criticised for putting players off their game with the curious noises emanating from her end of the court.

Wimbledon | Maria Sharapova advances


Done with her pre-tournament verbal volleying with Serena Williams,

Maria Sharapova improved to 11-0 in first-round matches at Wimbledon by beating 37th-ranked Kristina Mladenovic of France 7-6 (5), 6-3 Monday.

 Meanwhile, second-seeded Victoria Azarenka overcame a right knee injury from a scary fall for a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Maria Joao Koehler in her opener. The world number 3  Sharapova, who won her first Grand Slam title at the All England Club in 2004, struggled through the opening set.

But at 5-all in the tiebreaker, Sharapova hit a cross-court backhand winner to earn a set point, which she quickly converted with an over-the-shoulder backhand volley winner off Mladenovic's lob. Sharapova drew attention over the weekend by delivering a sharp news-conference rebuke to Williams over critical comments attributed to the top-seeded American in a recent magazine article. Williams has won their last 13 head-to-head matches, including the French Open final this month. Azarenka won the first set easily and was ahead 1-0 in the second when she slipped and fell. She was sobbing on the court and received treatment during an injury timeout. She played the rest of the match with a heavy wrap on her right knee.

 After resuming, Azarenka was limping noticeably and winced after several points. But Koehler, making her Wimbledon debut, did not have the power or consistency to make Azarenka, the two-time Australian Open titlist, pay for her diminished mobility. Wimbledon also produced its first upset on the opening day of the tournament. Puerto Rican teenager Monica Puig slugged 38 winners and eliminated fifth-seeded Sara Errani of Italy 6-3, 6-2 on Monday in the first match on Court 18 of the grass-court Grand Slam.

Being World No.1 and World No.2, the two will not meet before the final, but judging on current form and how the two have started both the American and the Russian are definitely on collision course.

French Open: Maria Sharapova defeats Eugenie Bouchard

Defending champion Maria Sharapova was on cout for just 15 minutes to record a rain-delayed win against Canadian teenager Eugenie Bouchard. The Russian, who is seeded second in Paris, returned to Court Philippe Chatrier leading 6-2 4-2 after the match had been interrupted by rain late on Thursday. And it took just four more games for her to complete the task, guaranteeing the win on her first match point when her opponent hit long under pressure. Bouchard, a promising 19-year-old from Quebec, who won the Wimbledon girls’ singles title last year, was handed a lesson in big-time tennis from the four-time Grand Slam champion. Sharapova, a teenage tennis sensation herself when she won the 2004 Wimbledon title at the age of 17, is now on a nine-match winning streak at Roland Garros and next faces China’s Zheng Jie for a place in the last 16 on Saturday. “It was such a long day yesterday and it is always difficult to come back out, so it was important to get off to a good start and I am just happy to finish the match today,” she said. At the same time, French No 1 Marion Bartoli battled into the third round with another hard-fought win, 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 against Colombian qualifier Mariana Duque-Marino, and has now spent over five hours on court in just two matches. There was more Russian success when Maria Kirilenko eased past Australian junior hope Ashleigh Barty 6-3 6-1.
