Maria Sharapova has admitted that she had to 'give everything' to beat Coco Vandeweghe in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
The former champion sealed her place in the last four at SW19 on Tuesday with a tough three-set win over the American.
"I was pretty dominant in the first set and the beginning of the second, but things slipped away after that and I had to regroup. My opponent was full of confidence so I knew it was going to be a tough match," the Russian told BBC Sport.
"You have to give everything, you are playing in a Wimbledon quarter-final. It's been a while since I have been in a semi at Wimbledon. I was pleased to win today and it gives me a lot of confidence."
Sharapova last reached the Wimbledon semi-finals back in 2011 before losing to Petra Kvitova in the final.
