Sharapova overcomes serving to reach French QF Jun 4th 2012, 15:26 PARIS –  Despite tumbling to the clay and struggling with her serve, Maria Sharapova moved closer to her first French Open title by reaching the quarterfinals with a ragged 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory Monday over unseeded Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic. In the third set, Sharapova occasionally clutched at or flexed her right wrist. On a windy, rainy afternoon, when both players slipped during points, the second-seeded Sharapova finished with 12 double-faults and was broken nine times, three of them when she was serving for the match. But she broke the 44th-ranked Zakopalova 12 times, including the final game. Sharapova is trying to complete a career Grand Slam at age 25. She never has made it past the semifinals at Roland Garros. Zakopalova never before went beyond a major's second round.
