Melbourne, Australia (SportsNetwork.com) - French Open champion Maria Sharapova, Roland Garros runner-up Simon Halep and Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard were among Fridays third-round winners at the 2015 Australian Open. The second-seeded former world No. 1 Sharapova blitzed helpless 31st-seeded Kazakhstani Zarina Diyas 6-1, 6-1 in 61 minutes at Laver Arena. I started really focused, I knew I had a tough, long match previously, so I wanted to start off strong and finish strong, said Sharapova. I think I did a good job of that. Sharapova captured the Aussie Open in 2008 and was the runner-up here in 2007 and 2012. The five-time major champ will face Chinese Peng Shuai in the fourth round on Sunday. Meanwhile, the No. 3 seed Halep fought past American Bethanie Mattek-Sands to reach the fourth round with a 6-4, 7-5 decision. Halep led 4-1 in the second set before Mattek-Sands mounted a mini comeback, only to fall short in the end. Up next for the Romanian Halep will be Belgian Yanina Wickmayer. The seventh-seeded Canadian star Bouchard had a tough first set but ended up cruising in the second to get past capable Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia 7-5, 6-0. I dont think it was the prettiest tennis out there today, admitted Bouchard, who has a big fan base in Australia. Her fourth-round opponent will be Romanias Irina-Camelia Begu. Tenth-seeded Russian left-hander Ekaterina Makarova defeated 22nd-seeded Czech and last weeks Sydney runner-up Karolina Pliskova 6-4, 6-4, while Wickmayer pulled off an upset of 14th-seeded former French Open runner-up Sara Errani, of Italy, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. In some other third-round action, the 21st-seeded Peng battled her way past Kazakhstans Yaroslava Shvedova 7-6 (9-7), 6-3, German Julia Goerges topped Czech Lucie Hradecka 7-6 (8-6), 7-5, and Begu dismissed German Carina Witthoeft 6-4, 6-4. Goerges should have her hands full with Makarova on Sunday. The third round is scheduled to conclude on Saturday, including matches for top-seeded five-time Aussie champion Serena Williams, fourth-seeded Wimbledon titlist and last weeks Sydney winner Petra Kvitova and 18th-seeded former Aussie finalist Venus Williams. The 18-time Grand Slam champion and reigning U.S. Open queen Serena will take on 26th-seeded Elina Svitolina, while the left-handed Kvitova will tangle with rising American Madison Keys and the former No. 1 and seven- time Grand Slam champion Venus will encounter talented Italian Camila Giorgi. Also on Day 6, sixth-seeded former Wimbledon runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska will meet 30th-seeded American Varvara Lepchenko; 11th-seeded 2014 Aussie runner-up Dominika Cibulkova will battle 19th-seeded Frenchwoman Alize Cornet 25th-seeded Czech Barbora Zahlavova Strycova will face former world No. 1 star Victoria Azarenka; and Coco Vandeweghe will lock horns with fellow American and last weeks Hobart runner-up Madison Brengle. Cibulkova was last years Aussie runner-up to since-retired Li Na. The two-time Aussie Open champ and two-time U.S. Open runner-up Azarenka titled in Melbourne back-to-back in 2012 and 2013 before being slowed by a foot injury last year.
