The relentless¹ second seed from Russia crushed the world number 78 in 48 minutes with a flurry of blistering² winners.

 

Sharapova, who has a chance of taking over from Victoria Azarenka as world number one depending of the Belarussian's run in Paris, blew kisses to the crowd after wrapping it up when Cadantu sent a backhand long on the first match point.

 

After winning two claycourt tournaments leading to the French Open, Sharapova said she is now in a better form.

 

"I'm really happy with the way my preparation hass been coming into this tournament. I feel like with every year I have improved and I enjoy it much more," she said.

 

"I think I learn a lot more about the game and the point construction. I feel like I'm moving a lot better than i did years prviously, which has helped me a lot in the recovery process within the point."

 

"So It definitely gives me a lot of confidence for this tournament. But just like any other event within this tournament, I hope that I improve with every round and get better," she said.

 

The Russian, who needs the French crown to complete her grand slam title collection, will next face Japan's Ayumi Morita.
