Maria Sharapova Matches Quotations

When the matches get tougher and you're pushed more, automatically, the level of your game increases.

She's played a lot of matches on clay, she feels the ball, she sees the ball well,

But it would mean a lot. I don't think I've shown New York how I can play tennis. Hopefully I can put together some good matches for my New York fans.

I think I started of really well from the first match. I was really read. It was a bit unexpected because I didn't play a lot of matches coming into the tournament, so I thought I would be a little rusty at the beginning.

We have tough matches and I've been able to pull through, so I'm very happy.

We've had such tough matches and I've been able to pull through three in a row - it's a confidence boost.

It was very difficult, I've played Nadia in the last two Grand Slams in the quarter-finals as well and we've had such tough matches and I've been able to pull through so I'm very happy.

It was the first day that it's been really hot like this. It's good to get through these kind of matches and I'm looking forward to the next one.

I played great tennis this week. It was a tremendous effort for me to be able to play two really tough matches yesterday and still play a high level of tennis today. In the first set it was just one or two balls didn't go my way I guess, and then after that I was physically tired from yesterday.

But it's about being in those situations and learning from them and although I've played a lot of matches already in my life, I'm still pretty young and have a lot to learn. But I am learning and I think you can see that.
