Sharapova was said to complain of an injury to her coach, Tomas Hogstedt, during her 6-4, 0-1 (ret.) win. Ivanovic retired with an injury to her hip and will have an MRI on Saturday.
Sharapova enters the final with a 3-4 record against Azarenka, having lost three of their last four matches, with her only recent victory coming last year in Rome, when Azarenka retired with an injury in the second set. Azarenka belted Sharapova in the Australian Open final six weeks ago, 6-3, 6-0.
"She's definitely the one to beat right now, someone that's playing with a lot of confidence and all the momentum in the world," Sharapova said. "I'd love to get my revenge from Australia and play much better, as well. In our previous meetings we have had really tough matches, and I hope that the quality of tennis will be good and hopefully change a few things around."â€"MC
