Serena said: "It was definitely easier today than last time. I knew what to expect. I still got a little bit frustrated today, but overall was able to stay calm more than last time. I don't think I had that many unforced errors compared to when we played at Indian Wells." WTA story *n106 wc Daria Gavrilova RUS d n2 s2 Maria Sharapova RUS 7-6(4), 6-3 Thu Maria and Daria driving backhands     Daria said: "I still can't realize that it's my dream. I have been dreaming about beating Maria since I was probably 12, when I saw her win [2004] Wimbledon, when she beat Serena. I was like, 'Oh, I really want to play her and beat her.'" WTA story     Maria said: "[Daria] runs a lot of balls down. I was committing a lot of errors off of those balls and not really staying patient, and maybe going for too many winners but not moving forward enough.     "Of course it's a bit of a surprise. It's the first round [after a bye]. I'm expected to win. But that's why we play the matches. You still have to go out and win it, no matter if you're the favorite. Today I didn't." n3 s3 Simona Halep ROU d n330 wc Nicole Vaidisova CZE 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 Fri Nicole following a backhand, and Simona driving one     2015 Indian Wells champion Simona said: "I'm not used to playing a long tournament like Indian Wells and coming straight to another one like Miami. It's tough because every match is difficult at this level, and you have to be very focused for every single match. I'm just trying to keep my mind focused and stay relaxed. I feel ready to start the tournament and I'll see how far I can go."

I wasn't serving the way I normally serve or hitting the way I normally hit, so all I could do was just fight and try to give 200% instead of 100%. At the start of the third set it was definitely a little bit of a natural reaction. Obviously I don't want to lose, or at least I want to try to do the best I can.

    (Apr 2, 2009) Second Fiddle: In the first four rounds of the Sony Ericsson Open, about two-thirds to three quarters of the matches played on the show courts each day were ATP (in the later rounds things even up, because there are not enough ATP matches to fill the show courts). As of Wednesday, of the 47 interview transcripts posted at the SEO website, 19 have been WTA (including Larry Scott), and 28 have been ATP. Considering that the principal sponsor of this tourney is the WTA's title sponsor, it makes a joke of the concept of equal treatment for the ladies.
