“I think there are a lot of good things that I can take away from a week like this,” Sharapova told press after the match. “Setting myself up with good opportunities. I think I was put in a lot of difficult situations within the matches. A lot of the matches were very physical.
“And considering it's been a third tournament in weeks, I haven't handled that very well body-wise in a long time. I think that's a very good thing personally for me.
“It'll be great to recover the next couple of days and then head to Paris and get ready. But overall, I would say it’s a step in the right direction toward the next one.”
“After losing those matches, you still have to put yourself on the line and show up and deliver. And do it with authority,” Sharapova said. “And I think that's what I'm most proud of is I had a lot of opportunities in the last few weeks in Madrid and here to just back down, to let little things bother me. But I got through them.
“I set up real good situations for myself; a lot of court time and match play. All good things that I wanted.”
“I think that's what we have to love about this sport is every day is different. I mean, you know, to see a champion to still have the desire to like go through so many incredible victories and kind of go on a little bit of a downfall and then face injuries and then still go out there and compete, I think that speaks for itself, you know. “
