harapova (Rus) [3] beat Knapp (Ita) 6-3 4-6 10-8
Third seed Sharapova was tested to the limit in a match which lasted three hours and 28 minutes in temperatures that reached 42.4C.
The deciding set alone - played in the hottest part of the day to that point - took one hour and 55 minutes.
After failing to capitalise on match points at 5-4, the Russian eventually broke to lead 9-8 having been two points from defeat a game earlier.
"Recovery’s going to be extremely important but these are the matches you work for and I’m happy to get through," said Sharapova, who will meet France’s Alize Cornet in round three.
