document: Azarenka defeats Sharapova for 2nd Miami title KEY BISCAYNE , Fla. -LRB- AP -RRB- - Swapping shrieks along with their shots , Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka made rallies sound like a car alarm . Sharapova was the soprano , Azarenka the alto , and their alternating arias could be heard on the beach across the street from the Sony Ericsson Open . But Sharapova was flat and her opponent sharp . Azarenka swept nine consecutive games to take charge Saturday and won the tournament for the second time , beating Sharapova , 6-1 , 6-4 . The final matched two of the most notorious grunters in tennis , and while both were noisy , Azarenka 's shots had more bang . Sharapova committed 43 unforced errors , held serve only once and came up short with a late comeback bid . '' `` I played real well the first set , '' '' the No. 8-seeded Azarenka said . '' `` Maria is such a great fighter , I knew she was going to fight to the end . She came up with great tennis at the end , and I had to hang in there . That 's what paid off . '' '' And who had the better shriek ? '' `` I think mine is quieter , '' '' Azarenka said . Sharapova committed eight errors in the first game alone . She lined one especially unsightly serve into the concrete in front of the net . By the time she found her range , Azarenka led 4-love in the second set . '' `` It 's a little bit too late to pick up the pace when you 're down a set and 4-love , '' '' Sharapova said . '' `` I wish I picked it up earlier , obviously . She did many things better than I did today . '' '' While the women 's tournament was full of surprises , the men 's draw is down to the game 's top-ranked players . No. 1 Rafael Nadal will play for the championship Sunday against No. 2 Novak Djokovic , who is 23-0 this year . Sharapova lost in a final for the fourth time since her most recent title , at Strasbourg in May 2010 . She 's 0-3 in finals at Key Biscayne , where she was also the runner-up in 2005 and 2006 . But the three-time Grand Slam champion is healthy again after battling a series of injuries , as the results are starting to show . She 's projected to climb next week to No. 9 , the highest she has been ranked since early 2009 . '' `` It means that I 'm winning matches , and winning more of them , '' '' she said . '' `` It has been a long road to get here . It 's not over yet . '' '' Azarenka 's also on the rise , and projected to be ranked No. 6 next week , matching a career-best . Alas , the 21-year-old Belarussian ca n't play Key Biscayne every week . She also won the tournament in 2009 , stopping Serena Williams in the final . The two titles are the biggest of her career , and she joked she 's planning to move to Miami from Minsk . Serena and Venus Williams , who between them have won eight Key Biscayne titles , missed the tournament for health reasons . But Azarenka still faced a tough path to the final , beating No. 2 Kim Clijsters and No. 3 Vera Zvonareva in straight sets . Through six rounds , Azarenka avoided the sort of emotional outbursts that derailed her in the past . She said that after losing in the third round at Dubai in February , she went home and reflected on the state of her game . '' `` I changed my mentality a little bit , '' '' she said . '' `` I 'm enjoying myself so much on the court that there 's no room for me for frustration . I just do n't care if I lose - what I mean is not to create such a big drama out of it . If you lose the match , it 's not the end of the world . '' '' Before facing Sharapova , Azarenka suggested fans wear earplugs , and the two finalists went at it like a couple of '' `` Aida '' '' rejects . The screeching on one early exchange had spectators giggling before the point ended , but a grim Sharapova pretended not to notice the strident soundtrack . '' `` I do n't really think about it when I play , '' '' she said . '' `` It 's about thinking what I have to do . '' '' She had trouble there , with Azarenka hitting aggressively from the baseline to prevent Sharapova from finding her rhythm . Sharapova broke serve to reach 1-all , but it was an hour before she won another game . She failed to convert 11 game points on her serve before holding for the only time to trail 4-2 , and briefly steadied her strokes . Pounding winners , she overcame two match points to break for 5-4 . '' `` I did n't feel like I was doing anything wrong , '' '' Azarenka said . '' `` She was just playing really good . '' '' But Sharapova was too erratic to sustain her rally - or the rallies . When she dumped a forehand into the net on the final point , Azarenka dropped her racket in disbelief and celebrated by spinning and dancing across the court . And then the only noise came from the cheering crowd .
