| Wimbledon: Second Round Interview |
 |
| June 26th, 2008 |
|
| Question |
Have you got any explanation for what went on out there today? |
| Maria Sharapova |
I guess it wasn't my day. She just did everything better than I did. You know, she played much better. She hit the ball harder. She, uhm, you know, served and returned better.On grass, you know those are two important elements. You know, once you don't have a lot on the ball then your opponent can take advantage of that. Obviously she had nothing to lose. She went for her shots. I was just pretty tentative. |
| Question |
Is there any part of your game today you were happy with? |
| Maria Sharapova |
I can't be really happy about anything today. |

| First round Interview after beating Stephanie Foretz |
 |
| June 24th, 2008 |
|
| Question |
One down, six more to go? |
| Maria Sharapova |
You could look at it that way, yeah. |
| Question |
Feel comfortable out there? |
| Maria Sharapova |
Yeah, it was definitely a good start, considering I didn't have a warmup tournament like I usually do. My main goal is just to go out there, get a feel for it as fast as I could and get the job done. |
| Question |
Quite an eye catching outfit. |
| Maria Sharapova |
Thank you. |

| Pre-Wimbledon Interview |
 |
| June 22nd 2008 |
|
| Question |
Are you going to watch the football game today? |
| Maria Sharapova |
Absolutely. |
| Question |
What do you think about Russia's chances? |
| Maria Sharapova |
We'll, we're playing a pretty tough team, but I'm very excited. I'm not in a hotel room. I'm actually in a house this time. I'm going to watch it with a group of friends, my dad. I think I have a Russian hat from Fed Cup. I might wear that.
I'm excited. It's going to be tough, but you never know. Turkey wasn't the favorite yesterday and they won. |
| Question |
What have you been doing since Paris? |
| Maria Sharapova |
Uhm, took a few days off. You know, I went back on the practice court and just worked, yeah. |

| Roland Garros: Second Round Interview |
 |
| May 30th, 2008 |
|
| Question |
Just talk about it. I mean, yesterday was a tough day, but today weather was a little better and you found some rhythm in the third set. |
| Maria Sharapova |
Yeah. It's just kind of been a strange tournament so far, from the first round, playing in very difficult conditions to a long wait yesterday.
I actually didn't think I was going to go on, you know, looking at the way the matches were going on our court. And then actually playing and, you know, playing quite well yesterday. |

| Roland Garros: First Round Interview |
 |
| May 28th, 2008 |
|
| Question |
It was quite hard today, so can you tell us about, I don't know, the conditions or what did give you so many problems today. |
| Maria Sharapova |
Me, myself, and I. (laughter.) Number one problem today. I started off well, and, you know, won the first set pretty comfortably. I kind of went downhill after that.
You know, she broke me in that first game. And, you know, credit to her. She started serving a lot better and making a lot of first serves, and the wind not giving me a lot of opportunities to, you know, to attack.
But, you know, I was quite tentative. I was giving her the opportunities to take control of the points, and not really playing the way I play my game. I was trying to maybe be somebody else that I'm not, and that can get you into trouble. It did today. |
