Error-prone Sharapova out of French Open

Seventh seed Ana Ivanovic eased to her first grand slam final by thrashing Maria Sharapova in straight sets in a one-sided encounter at the French Open today.

The rampant Serb's movement and clay-court prowess proved too much for the error-prone Sharapova, who slipped to a 6-2 6-1 defeat in just an hour and five minutes on Philippe Chatrier court.
