Sharapova wins in San Diego06.08.2007 01:00 Sports Maria Sharapova earned her first title in 10 months with a 6-2 3-6 6-0 victory over Patty Schnyder in San Diego. Sharapova used sharp ground strokes to capture her first championship since winning at Linz, Austria, in October. Schnyder, the 11th seed, struggled early as Sharapova consistently hit the lines with forehands and backhands. The defending champion dropped her first set of the tournament in the second but broke Schnyder in the second and fourth games of the third. Schnyder, who beat three straight higher-ranked opponents to reach the finals, has not won a title since July 2006 at Stanford.
