Maria Sharapova lost only three games on her way to the WTA Cellular South Cup title in Memphis. The Russian, 22, defeated Swedish qualifier Sofia Arvidsson 6-2 6-1 to secure a 21st Tour crown in impressive style. Sharapova, competing in her first tournament since losing in the first round of the Australian Open last month, did not drop a set throughout the event. "I feel great. I came here for matches - I got five and I got the win, so it was a good week," she said."I served and returned well - two things that are very important indoors. I also did the right things against Sofia. I worked hard after the Australian Open and little by little things are coming along." * Agencies
