NEW YORK (Reuters) – Maria Sharapova’s mix of grit and power were enough to see off American teenager Sofia Kenin 7-5 6-2 in the third round of the U.S. Open on Friday.Sharapova, who made her competitive comeback in April after a 15-month ban following a positive test for meldonium, battled through the first two rounds and it seemed that she would also struggle against the 18-year-old Kenin.Hitting winners and unforced errors in almost equal measure in the opening set, the former world number one however, dug deep to take the advantage.
