PARIS: Maria Sharapova won another easy match at the French Open on Friday, beating Ayumi Morita of Japan 6-1, 6-1.
The second-seeded Sharapova won her opening match 6-0, 6-0 on Tuesday.
The Russian has won three major titles in her career, but she still needs to win at Roland Garros to complete a career Grand Slam.
Last year, she lost in the semifinals at the French Open.
Sharapova and Morita were supposed to play Thursday night, but their match was postponed because of the marathon contest between American John Isner and Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu.
Isner lost in the fifth set, 18-16.
