15 consecutive defeats for Maria suggests not.
But sport can produce huge surprises now and again.
This would be bordering on miraculous though if Maria pulls it off. The size of the task is monumental.
Williams has the better serve, the better return, more power, better game at the net, superior movement and is better on both forehand and backhand side.
There is hardly anything that favours Sharapova in this match up. But on the day you never know........
Serena's playing Maria off the court in the 1st set.
However Serena's not well and is struggling for breath.
Maria's best hope is to keep the match going as long as possible
I would have loved Maria to have won but deep down I knew it was asking a lot.
Sad for her but she must forget about it and move on.
No point dwelling on it.
Maria was on the back foot from the start but she never gave up, she nearly took it to 3 sets. Murray tomorrow - Come on Andy!
Well I am not getting no sleep tonight.
Cricket at 3am until 8.30am when I Sky plus the rest of it and tune in to watch Muzza try to win his first Australian Open title.
Best wishes to him, I sincerely hope he can do it.
It's the Murray - Djokovic final this morning.
There's an early break for Djokovic as he leads Murray 3-1

yeah just seen that t-shirt kim's wearing, brilliant response to the coverage her swearing got in the media (press and tv)
The fat lady is beginning to warm up. The end is nigh. (that's the end of the clichés)
Murray's 2-1 down and 4-0 down in the fourth.
He's looking tired and down. Out on the canvas (I've found two more)
