document: Maria Sharapova beaten in final of Sony Ericsson Open by inspired Victoria Azarenka Victoria Azarenka defeated an error-plagued Maria Sharapova 6-1 , 6-4 to win the Sony Ericsson Open for the second time in three years . Azarenka 's victory , her sixth career title , will lift her to sixth in the world rankings next week - equalling her career best standing . The 21-year-old was on top from the outset - breaking Sharapova 's first two serves - although she also lost her own first serve game in a scrappy start to the match . Sharapova , currently ranked 13th in the world , was seeking her first tournament win since May but never found her rhythm nor her serve which she held just once in the match . The Russian has now lost all three of the finals she has reached at Key Biscayne . '' `` It 's obviously very disappointing given the other finals here as well but she was definitely the better player today and she has had a great tournament , '' '' said Sharapova . Former world number one Sharapova made 43 unforced errors , gifting points to Azarenka , who showed a good range of shots , including some impressive slices and lobs . '' `` I think I had the right tactics , '' '' said Azarenka , '' `` She likes to swing big and when she has time it 's very heavy and coming fast . So I was trying to take time away and not let her do that ... I think she was missing a lot because of my game . '' ''
