Cibulkova too good for Sharapova

Maria Sharapova's Grand Slam comeback ended in the French Open quarter-finals on Tuesday after she was demolished 6-0, 6-2 by Slovak Dominika Cibulkova.

Twelve months after competing in Paris as the world number one, Russian Sharapova turned up ranked 102nd as she is on a comeback trail following a nine-month injury layoff.

Sharapova had lost the first 11 games on a sunsoaked Suzanne Lenglen court when she saved a match point with a forehand winner.

She then save three more but bowed out on the fifth when she netted a forehand after 75 minutes.

Cibulkova, the 20th seed, will face Russian world number one Dinara Safina for a place in Saturday's final
