Former world number one Maria Sharapova today gave a clear indication about her stakes at this year's title when she registered a double bagel win over American Beatrice Capra to enter the pre-quarterfinals of the 2010 US Open, the year's last major being held in New York, USA.

Sharapova opened the match on a superb note and broke Capra's serve to race to a 3-0 lead. As the match progressed, Capra found rhythm in the match, but it wasn't enough to land a game which in turn gave Sharapova the first set 6-0. The second set did not change the story much as Sharapova saved a series of break points in a couple of tight games to complete the near perfect execution of tennis with a 6-0, 6-0 win.

Sharapova now meets top seed and tour leader Caroline Wozniacki, who registered a similar win over her Chinese Taipei's opponent, Yung-Jan Chan. Wozniacki won the 6-1, 6-0 match in just 73 minutes of play.

In a major upset from the day, fourth seed and 2008 finalist Jelena Jankovic bowed out of the event with a 2-6, 6-7(1) loss handed by Wimbledon quarterfinalist Kaia Kanepi. German Andrea Petkovic had the easiest entry into the Round of 16 when her opponent Chinese Shuai Peng gave her a walkover.
