In the last year I have gained a lot of experience because I have been playing against top players and realized what things to work on to get better. Top players basically tell you what your weaknesses are on the court.

When you're going through tough moments, you never know when you're going to have good moments.

When you are young, you are a little naive.

My shoulder's not where I want it to be, but I'm doing a good job of monitoring it.

There's not many firsts in my career, as I have been a part of many tournaments and fortunate enough to win many.

Within a few years the name 'Maria Sharapova' will be a brand as universally recognized as Calvin Klein, BMW and Rolex.

I want my handbags and my shoes to be stylish but I want to make sure that they're versatile. I travel and I have to make sure the pieces I put into my bag can go with a dress or with shorts or jeans.
