Maria Sharapova won her third round match over Lisa Raymond 6-4 6-0 on Sunday.
Sharapova won the first set 6-4. It was on serve at 3-3 when the number 3 seed broke the unseeded player. Then the 18 year old held on to her serve to go up 5-3. Raymond held serve to stay in the set but then Maria served out the set.
The second set was all Sharapova winning 6-0 and so after 70 minutes the match ended.
Maria will now play twenty first seed Shahar Peer in the fourth round. Peer beat Daniilidou 4-6 7-6 7-5 in her third round match. The two have met once with Maria winning in Beijing last year in three sets.
