Maria got her first win in the red group at the WTA Tour Championships in Madrid as she defeated world #9 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia 6-4 7-5 in 1 hour and 48 minutes.

The match was close and it was particularly impressive as Maria only started to practice serving a week and a half ago and this is only Maria's 2nd match since early September.

Maria got the break to lead 2-1 in the 2nd set when she hit a return into the corner.  The next games were held on serve until Maria was broken while serving for the match at 5-4 after having some matchpoints.  Maria managed to get the break back to lead 6-5 to serve for the match and won the match on a strong serve down the tee.

Maria has 2 more matches to play against Ana Ivanovic and Svetlana Kuznetsova and will play again on Thursday.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Na ruskom sajtu sam procitao da u Masinom arsenalu servi nisu vidjene serve od 190km na cas,kao do meca protiv Hantukove.To ipak nesto govori.Cini mi se da je jedna ili nekoliko servi bilo i preko 190km na cas.To je divna novost.Ali i Masina psiha je fantasticna.Ako izgubi poen nista strasno.Idemo dalje.Samo smireno i uspijeh je zagarantovan.Spasiba gospode ili hvala gospode na Masinoj pobijedi.Srecno Masa.
