Flintstone native Ashley Harkleroad opened her Wimbledon appearance Tuesday against a fellow teen sensation from Russia, Maria Sharapova.
Sharapova topped Harkleroad, 6-2, 6-1.
ESPN.com had picked this match as one of the most interesting first-round matchups.
Sharapova has made a name for herself rivaling the grunting of Monica Seles and has been called the "big noise" by some journalists. Sharapova has had complaints from other players because of her loud grunts.
