Sharapova breezes into semis

AFP, Tokyo
Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt eased into the third round of the Japan Open tennis tournament on Thursday while Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova booked her place in the women's semifinals.
Hewitt, the Australian top seed, dropped his second set in two matches but still ran out a comfortable 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 winner over Takao Suzuki of Japan.
The 2002 Wimbledon champion, currently ranked third in the world, avoided facing any break points at all against the 231st-ranked Suzuki.
"Even though I lost the first set, I still felt like I was a better player throughout the first set," said Hewitt.
"To be able to break his serve
early in the second set, I think that was the key, and let him know that his serve's gonna be broken a few more times in the match."
Meanwhile defending women's champion Sharapova breezed past French qualifier Youlia Fedossova 6-3, 6-4 to set up a match against Thai ace Tamarine Tanasugarn.
The top-seeded Russian glamour girl, defending a title for the first time, said she was not looking beyond the semifinal.
"I definitely hope I can defend my title, that's for sure, but I have to take one match at a time, just think about my next match and I definitely want to win it, so I'll be looking forward to that," she said.
Tamarine advanced to the semifinals earlier in the day when last year's runner-up Aniko Kapros of Hungary abandoned the match with a knee injury at 6-1, 3-0.
The 2001 runner-up admitted she found it difficult to concentrate with compatriot Paradorn Srichapan struggling to find his form on an adjacent court.
"I had to worry about my game while wanting to watch his match, too, but I had to make sure I concentrated. It was very hard," said Tamarine.
Paradorn, the fourth seed, found himself 2-6 down in the first set
before beating Harel Levy of Israel 2-6, 7-6, 6-4 in the men's singles second round.
But second seed David Nalbandian lamented a lack of confidence as he crashed out of the tournament.
The 2002 Wimbledon finalist, who had to come from behind to beat qualifier Wang Yeu-tzuoo of Taiwan on Wednesday, became the highest-seeded casualty of the men's competition as he fell 6-7, 63, 4-6 to Gilles Muller of Luxembourg.
Women's second seed Tatiana Golovin of France went out to wild card entrant Nicole Vaidisova of the Czech Republic on Wednesday.
"He (Muller) has a very good serve, but he also played very good from the baseline. I think he had a very good match," said the Argentine.
"I didn't have a very good start (to the tournament), because ... I don't know, I don't have much confidence at this moment," he added.
"Maybe that's why I made a lot of easy mistakes. I'm playing so few tournaments, few matches ... maybe that's why."
Nalbandian reached the finalin Roma and the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, but then lost in the first round at Montreal and the second round at the US Open.
However, he reached the quarterfinals of theinaugural China Open in Beijing before coming to Tokyo.
The 22-year-old Argentine, ranked 10th in the world and 11th in the race for the Masters championship, was still hopeful of a berth in the eight-player elite event.
"I'm trying to get into the Masters at the end of the year, but It's gonna be tough. I'll have a few tournaments more and I'll try to keep going," he said.
