Maria Sharapova advanced  to the third round with a almost effortless 6-1, 6-2 win over Iveta Benesova tonight.

         Benesova never had a break point in the match against Sharapova, the No. 14th  ranked woman in the world.

         Sharapova, 23, will play 18-year-old  American wild card Beatrice Capra in the third round.

         When Sharapova was asked after the match if she had ever heard  of Capra, she responded "not really."
