'Miami experience helped me win Wimbledon'
Maria Sharapova believes the experience she gained at last year's Nasdaq-100 Open helped her win Wimbledon.
The Russian teenager reached the last 16 in Miami before losing 6-4 6-3 to eventual champion Serena Williams, the player she beat in the Wimbledon final four months later.
"It definitely helped me with experience. I had never played her before," said Sharapova.
"It was one of those matches where I went out and I played a pretty good match but I didn't do enough to win. I learned a lot and it helped me in my Wimbledon final."
