There are only four women and six men left standing in Key Biscayne in Miami coming into Thursday's Sony Open singles action, where defending women's champion Agnieszka Radwanska looks to return to the final with a win over Serena Williams in the semis.

Having not yet dropped a single set at this year's tournament, I like Sharapova to defeat 2008 runner-up Jelena Jankovic on Thursday afternoon, setting up a potenti...
