SOUNDBITE: (English) Maria Sharapova: (On why she plays so well at night)

"Yes, I'm not really sure because this is usually the time when I'm sleeping already so I don't know. I'd actually think it was the opposite. But I think in the beginning of my career it was always a bit more challenging because I didn't really know how to adjust to what I should do during the day, how do I prepare for that. But I've certainly learned a lot and just know what to expect and I know the waiting game a little bit better than I did when I was a junior or a young teenager. But now I really enjoy it. You feel the goosebumps when you go out for a night match on Arthur Ashe."
