MELBOURNE, Australia - It was a thumbs-up dripping with irony. Soaked with sweat, and delusional by her own admission, top-seeded Maria Sharapova had come within two points of a first-round exit at the Australian Open. When it was announced the roof would be closed over Rod Laver Arena after her match, Sharapova clapped her hands above her head and raised her right thumb to applaud the decision.

Asked after her 6-3, 4-6, 9-7 win Tuesday over Camille Pin if it was hot enough, Sharapova replied: "You're not kidding."

"It's inhumanly possible to play three hours in that kind of heat," she said. "I don't think our bodies were made to do that — I was so delusional I couldn't think."

Did they take this quote 2 minutes after the match or run it through an English-to-Yogi-Berra translator?

I see you problem. You're doing it all wrong. You're listening to her.

Maria Sharapova is looking at, not for listening to.
