  • Intro:

    Maria Sharapova reacts to her 7-6 (7/4) 6-3 defeat to fellow Russian Daria Gavrilova in the second round of the Miami Open on Thursday (26 March).

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Maria Sharapova, world number two:

    "It's sport and I happened to lose the match. Of course it's a bit of a surprise, it's the first round (second round, but Sharapova had first-round bye), I am expected to win, but I think that's one of the reasons why we play the matches, you still have to go out and win it, no matter if you're the favourite. And today, I didn't."

    "I had times when I did come back but I was always behind, and I put myself in a situation that was too far behind to come back from."

    "She (Gavrilova) runs a lot of balls down, and I was committing a lot of errors off those balls, not really staying patient and just going for too many winners, not moving forward enough."
