Tennis Queen Maria Sharapova shows no mercy as Christina McHale crumbles

With her victory, the 2006 champion booked a third-round meeting with another American teenager, Melanie Oudin, who earlier upset fourth seed Elena Dementieva.

Sharapova, seeded 29th, produced a display of power tennis, although her 17-year-old opponent refused to be overawed at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The former world No 1 broke McHale in her first game but not to be outdone, the teenager broke back before holding for a 2-1 lead.

However, Sharapova held and then McHale double-faulted to go 3-2 up and, after holding, the Russian then took a double-break after crafting an easy forehand winner by playing her opponent around the court.
