Maria Sharapova is known as a lady with a fighting character and rare charm. Her weapon is a precise racket and irresistible strength of spirit. Maria Sharapova is a Russian tennis player, three-time winner of Grand Slam singles tournaments, Honored Master of Sports of Russia.
Mary became interested in tennis in early childhood. Even then, in Moscow, she was lucky to meet on the court with the outstanding “first racket” of the world – Martina Navratilova. She pointed out to the parents a worthy path for their daughter – the need to go to study in the United States and seriously engage in tennis there. That's what they did.
Less than ten years later, Masha, under the leadership of her father, defeated one of the “three hundred best in the world”, in Columbus. Later - won twenty-two WTA tournaments and four ITF tournaments in singles and three WTA tournaments in doubles.
Sharapova is talented not only in her skill. Any aspiring athlete can envy her character: Maria knows what she wants, sports come first. She believes in herself. On the court it is constrained, but then fights to victory. Her fights can be called battles. Accurate kicks on the ball, practiced tactics. And the support from the stands inspires the tennis player and gives new strength.
When Sharapova appeared to the world, many predicted her success in sports and insane fame. Incomparable talent, excellent external data made her a popular person of our time. Until June 17, 2005 on the Internet, the name of the tennis player was mentioned eight hundred twenty-nine thousand times, about eighteen thousand articles appeared in print and more than a hundred stories were released on television and radio. In 2006, according to Sports Illustrated magazine, Maria was recognized as the most beautiful athlete of the year. And in 2000, she became the face of Sony Ericsson and won a new victory, becoming the winner of the Federation Cup (as part of the Russian national team).
For more than six months, Sharapova did not appear on the courts due to a shoulder injury. And in 2009, she won the Toray Pan Pacific Open, getting into the second round of the next tournament - the Chinese Open tennis championship.
Maria Sharapova is one of the loudest tennis players of all time (101.2 dB). Her personal record was set and recorded at Wimbledon. Maria never gave up: even the momentary weakness of her rival becomes the key to her lightning success and a new victory. /
