One phone call was all it took for Maria Sharapova to shake off whatever it was that almost ended her Australian Open.
That call came early on in the tournament when the No 2-ranked player came very, very close to losing in the second round to a low-ranked qualifier.
That was a bad day - she made 51 unforced errors, faced match point twice and clawed her way back to win.
