S1 Probability PLEASE HELP!!

Mary and Sue play each other at football. Over a year, Sue has won 55% of their matches.
a)In a week when they play three matches, what is the probability that:

(i) Mary wins one match and Sue wins two matches?
(ii) Sue wins one match and Mary wins two matches?

How do I do it?

Draw a probability tree with the headers :1st match...2nd match etc

If Sue wins 55% what is the probability that Mary wins?

Work it out from there by multiplying across branches if you need to
