"If you want my confidence to be up, I have to say myself," she said.
She'll be coming off a low-key buildup, playing only five events in the
latter part of last season.
"I think I need a few matches to prepare," she said. "I'm not going to be
playing my best in the first round, but I'm sure gradually as I go, I'm sure my
form will come back to normal."
Sharapova lost to Serena Williams in the Australian Open semifinals last year
despite serving for the match in the second and third sets.
