英语文摘：Sharapova zips past Capra to reach US Open last 16

NEW YORK, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Maria Sharapova imposed an emphatic halt to Beatrice Capra's U.S. Open success story, zipping the 18-year-old American 6-0, 6-0 on Saturday to reach fourth round.

In last year's third round, Sharapova lost to Melanie Oudin, who ended up making a magical run to the quarterfinals. Capra was hoping to fashion a similar story, but her third-round meeting against the 14th-seeded Russian was a totally different story.

With whipping winds pushing hot dog wrappers, napkins and even, at one point, Capra's visor all over the court, Sharapova handled the conditions remarkably better.

She won 59 points to 29 for Capra and advances to play top- seeded Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round.
