Russia’s Sharapova to Take on US’s Serena Williams for Olympic Gold

Russia’s Maria Sharapova will take on United State’s Serena Williams in the Final of the London Olympic Tennis Ladies Single event on Saturday.

Sharapova dispatched off fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko 6-2 6-3 in the semis while Serena Williams decimated world number one Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 6-1 6-2 in the other Semi-Final.

Serena and Sharapova will now face each other not just for a gold medal but also to become only the second woman after Germany’s Steffi Graf to win all four grand slams and the Olympic title in their career. Serena Williams has a 8-2 win/lost (all-time) against Maria Sharapova.
