Sharapova again returns from the brink

By The Assam Tribune

PARIS, June 3 (Agencies): Maria Sharapova�s comebacks are becoming something of a theme at Roland Garros in 2014.

Just two days ago, she found herself down 3-6, 3-4 to Sam Stosur in the fourth round before reeling off nine straight games to advance.

In Tuesday�s quarter-finals she found herself in a similarly precarious position against the free-swinging Garbine Muguruza, down 1-6, 4-5. But when she stepped up to the line and served to stay in it, the Russian played her best game of the match to stay alive. Less than an hour later, she was celebrating another come-from-behind victory, winning 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 to secure her place in the semi-finals. She will play Eugenie Bouchard in the last four.
