SOUNDBITE (English) Maria Sharapova, beat Garbine Muguruza 1-6 7-5 6-1:
(Q. What did you think after that first set loss?)

"Little by little I started playing a bit better, started getting in the court a little more, playing a little bit more aggressive, serving better than I did in the first set, returning as well, giving myself more looks at break points. So just a combination of a few things. It was tough not to win that game at 3-1. I think that would have.... gave me a bit more confidence. I was a game away from losing it. I was very happy with the way I came through."
