Maria Sharapova, Kim Clijsters - WTA Miami 2011 matches


Maria Sharapova and Kim Clijsters are both on the Order of Play for Tuesday, March 29th at the 2011 Sony Ericsson Open.

Clijsters will face Ana Ivanovic in a battle of former world number ones and the head to head series is one that has been dominated by Clijsters, although they have not met many times. Heading into tomorrow's match, Clijsters is 3-0 against the Serbian and that history includes a fairly recent match from the 2010 US Open.

Maria Sharapova appears to have an easier opponent as she faces Romania's Alexandra Dulgheru. Dulgheru is improving on tour and she is just 21 years old still but heading into Tuesday's match, Dulgheru is ranked just 28th.

The two players have never met before but you have to like Sharapova's chances of advancing and she does tower over Dulgheru by a full six inches.
