Maria Sharapova battles to beat Venus Williams in Miami
 Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova battled her way back from being a set down to finally defeat Venus Williams 2-6 6-2 7-5 at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami.

Venus Williams made 50 unforced errors and served up 12 double faults, whilst Maria Sharapova made a total of 35 unforced errors.
Maria Sharapova explained her feelings about it: "You know you're not going to play your best tennis,"
And Maria Sharapova added: "You definitely can't get frustrated. But I'm a fighter and a big competitor.
That's why I play the sport. I enjoy the battle of it, and a lot of my matches, it depends on who fights more in the end."
Maria Sharapova could now go forward to meet Serena Williams in the fourth round of the tournament.
