Serena Williams collides with Maria Sharapova and then Rafael Nadal seeks his third title at Madrid.

“I obviously didn’t do much in the second set, which gave her a lot of confidence to play better,” Williams said. “And then I thought she played really well after that in the third…I’m going to go back to the way I have been playing and being more calm and not making as many unforced errors as I did out there today.”

Roger Federer’s slump continued Thursday in Madrid.

“I was complaining a little bit that these things weren’t working, so I think I just needed some positive words from Martina out there,” Pavlyuchenkova said. “She told me to keep playing my game and be more aggressive, and other things. It really helped.”

Veterans Tommy Haas and David Ferrer bid for titles Sunday.

Rafael Nadal continued his Monte Carlo mastery while rivals Novak Djokovic struggled and Andy Murray led a trio of high seeds heading home.
