Dulko, who needed five knife-edge match points to seal victory after 2hrs:13min, goes on to face Russian 10th seed Nadia Petrova for a place in the last 16.
But for Sharapova, defeat will cast further doubts over the ability of the sport's most bankable star to ever return to her former powers after a 10-month injury absence. - AFP
