Neither Wozniacki nor Sharapova look as though they will be eliminated as Monday as each players tries for a quarterfinal spot at the Miami Masters.
The schedule for the matches at the Sony Ericsson Open involving Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki on Monday is as follows (ET):
STADIUM start 11:00 am
[4] Samantha Stosur (AUS) vs [16] Maria Sharapova (RUS) - WTA
[1] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) vs [21] Andrea Petkovic (GER) - WTA
Samantha Stosur is the four seed at the WTA Miami event while Sharapova is the 16 seed and that would imply a victory for the Australian. However Stosur has never beaten Sharapova in six matches played and three of those matches were on the hard court surface.
When those three matches are isolated, Stosur is just 1-6 in the sets played and it should be the Russian with the confidence in Monday's meeting. They have only met one time since Sharapova's return from injury almost two years ago but that was a tidy 6-0, 6-1 win at Tokyo 2009 for Sharapova.
Wozniacki is in action against Andrea Petkovic, a player who has played strong tennis in the last year. The two players have never met on tour before so there is no head to head history to examine.
However despite Petkovic's improved play she is not close to being of Wozniacki's calibre and the world number one should be through to the quarterfinals.
