Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Maria Sharapova, Beat Eugenie Bouchard 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 (Q: Second set, down a break, your serve was troubling you. How do you find the result? How do you work in those situations?):

"Well, I'm happy with the result because I.... I'm in the finals. That's one thing to be happy about. I don't feel that I played my best tennis today, but to be in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam and winning a match where I felt my opponent played extremely well, exceptional tennis, and I didn't feel that I was playing my best. I fought, I scrambled and I found a way to win and I'm happy and proud about that."
