PARIS: French Open favorite Maria Sharapova made smooth progress in the French Open tennis tournament on Friday, but it was the end of the road for number three seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
Sharapova swept aside Japan's Ayumi Morita 6-1, 6-1 in what was a second round match held over from Thursday because of the marathon clash between Paul-Henri Mathieu and John Isner.
The second seed, who won on clay in Stuttgart and in Rome in the buildup to Paris, will have a one-day turnaround before taking on China's Peng Shuai for a place in the last 16.
Sharapova will take on unseeded Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic for a place in the quarter-finals. (AFP)
