It has been an eventful month for Sharapova, who split with long-time coach Sven Groeneveld following her opening-round exit from Indian Wells.
Naomi Osaka swept Sharapova right out of the BNP Paribas Open first round, 6-4, 6-4.
"I’ve known that since the comeback that I have to work to get myself to be in a seeded position, and to get what they call a better draw, all those things,” Sharapova told the media in Indian Wells after falling to Osaka. “That takes work, that takes time, I’m not afraid of any of that.”
It was Sharapova's third consecutive loss, including her second straight opening-round exit.
Romanian qualifier Monica Niculescu mixed slice and spin mischievously bamboozling Sharapova down the stretch in rallying for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 triumph at the Qatar Total Open last month.
