Maria Sharapova bounces Beatrice Capra from Open
American teen-ager Beatrice Capra's magical ride at the open ended quicklly today in the third-round today when Maria Sharapova beat her 6-0, 6-0.
Capra, the 371st ranked woman here, had earned a wild-card berth by winning an eight-women tournament. She then had shown great poise and composure in her first two wins, the most recent of which heading into today was a 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, win over No. 18 Aravane Real.
