Sharapova hopes to rival world number one Justine Henin this year despite deciding to withdraw from the Dubai Open on the second day of the tournament because of a virus, she said. The Australian Open champion played all the way through the Doha tournament with the same virus, she claims, and felt worse when she woke up in Dubai yesterday.

La rusa Sharapova (5ta preclasificada del torneo) regresó a la final de uno de los cuatro torneos principales de la temporada, después de caer ante la estadounidense Serena Williams en este mismo certamen, el año pasado.

Sharapova se mostró agresiva desde el comienzo del duelo y, salvo por un mal game al servicio en el primer set, que permitió a Ivanovic igualar a 4-4, la estrella rusa controló los puntos importantes contra una rival serbia por segunda partida consecutiva.

Se impuso a Jelena Jankovic (3) en las semifinales, luego de eliminar a la belga Justine Henin, la primera del escalafón mundial, quien vio rota una racha de 32 triunfos consecutivos.
