Ungracious Shriekapova

So Maria Sharapova (Skriekapova) pulled out of her quarterfinals match with Sara Errani yesterday at the Internationali BNL d'Italia in Rome .   And she has been quoted by the press as saying:

 "I was already a bit off in Madrid and played though it and it came back last night and I got sick again and its not smart to compete again two or three rounds to win the tournament and with Paris starting next week."

First she has every right to pull out if she is indeed not feeling well or if she feels she needed a break before the French Open.  I frankly think she is just avoiding another inevitable lost from either Azarenka (Screamarenka) or Serena.  For her to say that she was a bit off last week in Madrid is an excuse for loosing to Serena at the finals of the Mutua Madrid Open.  Their head to head record clearly favors Serena by 13 wins over Shriekapova's 2 wins that happened in 2004.  Serena has been dominating Shriekapova for almost 10 years now.  So by saying she was off when she played Serena is ungracious.  She lost clearly and it is not hard to believe considering the stats.  And why is this the first time we heard her say she was sick in Madrid?   Whatever she says, the record will have to do the talking louder.  She only wins in tournament if Serena is not there to demolish her.
