Sharapova to win Memphis title?

Question

Maria Sharapova is ranked more than 30 places above second seed Melanie Oudin in Memphis, but can the Russian win the title?

Answer 1

The rankings say “yes”, but Melanie Oudin might just say “no”. You’d expect these two would reach the final, but Sharapova’s sole competitive match of 2010 so far was a first round exit at the Australian Open. It should be easy pickings in this draw, but with Oudin in the mix things could get complicated for Sharapova.
