Russia's Maria Sharapova, this year's women's singles winner at Wimbledon, won the Korea Open WTA tournament Sunday with an easy 6-1, 6-1 victory over Poland's Marta Domachowska. The 17-year-old Russian dominated the 53-minute final at the packed Olympic Tennis Court in southern Seoul. Blistering serves and powerful ground strokes from corner to corner by Sharapova, who ranks eight in the world, overpowered the 18-year-old Domachowska who ranks 100th. Sharapova needed only 27 minutes to take the first set 6-1 and another 26 minutes to take the second 6-1.
