Maria Sharapova's record against Serena Williams makes miserable reading for the Russian. But not the American, whose 16-2 advantage looks more like an England cricket team's scorecard.
"It's been a really difficult match-up for me, but I am a competitor," says second seed Sharapova.
"I will go out and I will do everything I can to try to change that result around."

John Lloyd
1977 Australian Open runner-up"I'm probably going to look stupid here - but I'm going for an upset. I'm going for a Sharapova win.
"I know the record is ridiculous, but I have a feeling this is Sharapova's time.
"Serena has been good at times, she played pretty well last in the last match but has been shaky. Sharapova has looked awesome in the last couple of matches.
"If there is one person who could get rid of a losing streak is her. Mentally she is one of the toughest women I have seen on the circuit ever."

Image source, EPAMost people have a nemesis - sporting or otherwise - and the scourge of Maria Sharapova's life on the tennis court has been Serena Williams.
Since that famous victory in SW19, the Russian has only managed one more victory. In 15 more attempts. And that came a few months later in 2004 at the Tour Championships in Los Angeles.
Since then, she has been thrashed and embarrassed by her great rival - on more than one occasion. Is today finally the day where she executes her revenge?
