Sharapova wins in Madrid !

(6) Maria Sharapova (RUS)

vs.

(8) Daniela Hantuchova (SVK)

One player who knows how to triumph at the prestigious season-ending event is 2004 champion, Sharapova. The 20-year-old former world No.1 has had to contend with a shoulder injury for much of 2007, but has still managed several notable achievements - including a title run in San Diego and a runner-up finish at the Australian Open. Meeting her in the Red Group's opening match-up is one of the year's most consistent performers, Hantuchova. Although the Slovak star only secured her spot at the Spanish showpiece little more than a week ago, title runs in Indian Wells and Linz prove she certainly has the temperament to triumph on the big occasions. While Sharapova has won the past five encounters between the pair, the last of these was more than 12 months ago and on current form Hantuchova will be confident of enacting revenge this time around.

Seasons of Love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure-- measure a year?

In daylights-- in sunsets

In midnights-- in cups of coffee

In inches-- in miles

In laughter-- in strife

In-- five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?

How about love?

How about love?

Measure in love

Seasons of love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned or times that he cried

In bridges he burned or the way that she died

It's time now-- to sing out

Tho' the story never ends

Let's celebrate

Remember a year in the life of friends

Remember the love

Remember the love

Remember the love

Measure in love

Measure, measure your life in love

Seasons of love

Seasons of love

In diapers--reportcards

In sportwheels--in speeding tickets

In contracts--dollars

In funerals--in births

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you figure our last year on Earth?
