Maria Sharapova Physically Quotations

She tried to mix it up a little at the end of the first set and I knew it would be physically harder. Mentally, I told myself it doesn't matter how many balls it takes, you're going to do everything possible to get one more ball back.

She's physically very healthy, I'm being aggressive when facing her again.

I think at some point I may be able to dominate, but honesty, I don't think I'm physically there yet and I don't want to go out there and say I am, when I'm really not.

Physically it was very difficult to keep up with Svetlana today. I just wasn't physically ready to run down a lot of balls.

I think physically it was very difficult to keep up with Svetlana today. She was able to come back from the tough points and play a few more.

I played really well in the first set but then I just got too comfortable. I wasn't physically tired but mentally I was coasting. I just had to get myself together mentally and fight for it.

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.

I gave it all I had in the tie breaker and then in the third I ran out of gas, ... At that point it's pretty tough, physically as the points were going longer, it was to Kim's advantage. Physically, I still have to get a lot better.

But in the future, dominating is something I would like, but I'm still not where I need to be physically or with my game.

I don't think the scores showed anything, it was physically and mentally so challenging to play against her today. We were fighting for everything.
