World No. 4 Sharapova started the tournament with a two-set win on Saturday against Julia Goerges.
"The first matches are always a little bit tricky, especially having not played in a few weeks indoor or outdoor," Sharapova told the tournament website after her win. "Tricky opponent, and she's capable of playing good tennis. She hasn't been as consistent as she probably would have liked recently, but she's had her results.
"She's beaten top players before, so the first round, that's never easy, but I thought I did what I had to do. Certainly improvements that I could make."
Despite having found success at Indian Wells in the past, Sharapova admitted every tournament is like "starting from scratch."
"Yeah, I have played really well here. I obviously hope to continue that," she said. "You always start from scratch every year, but I always like to get here a little bit early and get used to the conditions. We are in a little bit of an altitude, not much, but the ball does fly somewhat in the first couple of days.
"But I felt like I was hitting and, you know, missed a lot of returns in the second set, which I should have made. But overall I feel like I did what I had to do and step up for the next ones."
Giorgi, ranked No. 79 in the World, defeated Andrea Petkovic in three-sets in the first round, then moved on to beat Sorana Cirstea in two sets.
