Flushing Meadows, NY - Five-time major titlist Maria Sharapova moved on, while second-seeded Simona Halep and two-time champion Venus Williams were a pair of third-round losers Friday at the U. Deion Jones Jersey .S. Open. Sharapova, seeded fifth in the tournament, defeated No. 26 Sabine Lisicki in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4 to close out play on Friday at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The reigning French Open victor and 2006 champion here in New York will face 10th-seeded Caroline Wozniacki next in the round of 16. Wozniacki cruised to a 6-3, 6-2 result over 18th-seeded German Andrea Petkovic. Wozniacki posted a runner-up finish in New York in 2009. The French Open runner-up Halep succumbed to 32-year-old Croatian qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 on the famed Grandstand court. Halep is just 4-3 since titling in her native Romania last month. Halep had reached at least the quarterfinals at the years first three Grand Slam events. Lucic-Baroni cried tears of joy after the stunning result. "This is incredible," said the former teen phenom. "I believed the whole time." "After so many years, my God, this is just incredible," Lucic-Baroni added. "Every painful moment was worth it." Meanwhile, 13th-seeded gritty Italian Sara Errani outlasted the 19th-seeded former world No. 1 Venus in 6-0, 0-6, 7-6 (7-5) fashion. After swapping a pair of bagel sets, Errani and the seven-time major champion Venus got down to business in the third, where Venus blew a 5-3 lead as the Italian eventually forced a tiebreak. The former French Open runner-up Errani set up a match point with a backhand winner and closed out the entertaining bout with a forehand winner into an open court after just over two hours of compelling tennis. "It was a really tough match, even if I won the first set 6-0," said Errani. "Shes an amazing player. I just tried to focus on every point. I tried to keep going, not thinking too much about the score." Errani finished with 18 winners and 25 unforced errors, while Williams was hurt by 52 miscues. The 34-year-old Venus was the back-to-back U.S. Open champ in 2000 and 2001 and is also a two-time runner-up in New York. Errani will face Lucic-Baroni in the round of 16.
