MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Maria Sharapova remains perfect in Australian Open quarterfinals, defeating Ekaterina Makarova 6-2, 6-3 on Wednesday.
Sharapova has won all five quarterfinals she has contested at Melbourne Park and has advanced to the final twice, including when she won the title in 2008. The 24-year-old Russian, who has lost just 21 games in five matches, will play Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in the semifinals.
