This is her second Indian Wells ATP Masters title and first of this season.

Today Sharapova is officially number two in ATP ranking, displacing Victoria Azarenka. Serena Williams remain at number one position.

“She knew she had to go for it. She couldn’t just stand there and just wait around. First of all, that’s not her game. Second of all, she knew that against me she needs to be very aggressive and take her opportunities. And, you know, she took every opportunity she had out there,” said Wozniacki.

“I didn’t feel like I was hitting rockets out there. I thought I was being aggressive, but I was doing the right things and being patient enough and looking for the right shot of, you know, when I wanted to move in a little bit,” said Sharapova after the match.

“I don’t know, Sometimes when you’re in the match you don’t really realize what’s going on.  Obviously this sounds like the case here,” she added.
