PARIS - Maria Sharapova needed just three games last night (NZT) to advance to the quarter-finals of the French Open tennis championship.
The Russian second seed had led Spain's Nuria Llagostera Vives 6-2 3-3 when play was halted early on Monday due to rain.
Sharapova reeled off three straight games on a windswept Court Suzanne Lenglen to advance.
She will next play Justine Henin-Hardenne for a spot in the semi-finals.
