Sharapova eases into fourth round in Paris

Former world No. 1 Maria Sharapova cruised into the fourth round of the French Open with a hard-hitting 6-2 6-3 victory over Taiwan’s Chan Yung-jan on Saturday.

Wearing a chic yellow dress on court Philippe Chatrier, the Russian seventh seed, once voted the most fashionable player on and off the court, powered to a 4-0 lead and there was no stopping her from then on.

Sharapova, who needs to win the French Open to complete a career grand slam, will take on Polish 12th seed Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat Belgian Yanina Wickmayer 6-4 6-4.
