"She (Williams) is much more experienced than me, and she knows how to handle some crucial points well," said Wang puma heart patent blanche , adding she would play better on clay next year.
Kerber, who only had a personal best record of a last 16 in this clay season, failed to withstand the strong forehand and backhand attacks from her opponent as she lost the first set 6-2 in 38 minutes.
Makarova nailed three games in a row in the second set, before Kerber broke in the fourth game in an unfamiliar manner. Leading 5-2 into her service puma heart patent noir pas cher , Makarova sealed the victory with a powerful forehand to deny Kerber's quest for the Suzanne Lenglen trophy.
