Maria Sharapova had an upset loss to 135th-ranked Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan at the Rogers Cup on Thursday, becoming the latest casualty of a draw which has lost 11 of the 16 seeds.
The 26-year-old Voskoboeva, who ousted Marion Bartoli and Flavia Pennetta to reach the third round, beat fifth-seeded Sharapova 6-3, 7-5 with soft drop shots and had the veteran chasing balls to the baseline throughout the match.
“It makes for an exciting story because at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what you’re ranked or seeded, the reason we go out and play the matches is to know who’s going to be the winner on that day,” said Sharapova, who has 23 career singles titles. Voskoboeva reached her first career semifinal earlier this year.
