Shahar Peer had no complaints after she was swept aside by third seed Maria Sharapova in the Ladies Singles Olympic tennis competition at Wimbledon on Sunday.

Peer started well, breaking Sharapova in the first game but the giant Russian broke back immediately before going up the gears to take the first set 6-2.

Sharapova did not let up in the second set, which she won to love, to wrap up the match in one hour and five minutes.

Peer told JC Sport: "I'm not happy because I lost the match but I tried my best. She was just better than me.
