Maria Sharapova Playing Tennis 2010

Sharapova withdrew 20 minutes before her semifinal match against Nadia Petrova at the East West Bank Classic on Saturday night because of a lower left leg strain.
Sharapova, the top seed, was coming off her first title of the year at last week's Acura Classic near San Diego
Russian star Maria Sharapova has pulled out of this weekend's Fed Cup semi-final against the USA.
The world number two, who has yet to make her debut in the team competition, has a shoulder injury and has been told to rest for 10 days by doctors.
Maria has been struggling with the problem for much of the current season and bowed out of Wimbledon at the last-16 stage last week.
Don't blame it on that girl
Sharapova never refused to be part of the team, she had a shoulder injury, that's why she couldn't face the last matches at Fed Cup; perhaps she might be with us at the finals against Italy", Tarpischev said in an interview to "Moscow Echo" radio station.

MARIA SHARAPOVA WALLPAPERS 2010

Maria Sharapova is a Russian professional tennis player.

Maria started hitting tennis balls at the age of four. At the age of six, Maria Sharapova participated in a exhibition in Moscow that featured Martina Navratilova.

So, at the age of nine, she began training at Nick Bollettieri's Tennis Academy located in Bradenton, Florida, USA. Therefore, during those two years, she was separated from her mother for two year due to visa restrictions and finances.

Maria occasionally travels with her father and works with tennis coach managers Michael Baroch and Robert Lansdorp. During her leisure time off court, Maria's interest includes modeling in fashion, singing, jazz dancing and movies (Pearl Harbor (2001)).

Maria enjoys reading books of her interest in the "Sherlock Holmes" and "Pippi Longstocking" collection series. Basically, Maria's favorite dessert is 'anything'. Maria favors Russian music and food, but except for Italian bread

Maria Sharapova BioGraphy

Maria Yuryevna Sharapova (Russian: About this sound Мари́я Ю́рьевна Шара́пова (help·info), Mariya Yur’evna Shara'pova [pronounced sha-RA-po-va[citation needed]] Russian pronunciation: [mɐˈrʲijə ʂɐˈrapɐvə]; born April 19, 1987) is a former World No. 1 Russian professional tennis player and three time Grand Slam singles champion.[2] As of April 5, 2010, she is ranked World No. 14.

When Sharapova was six, she and her father moved from their life of poverty in Russia to the United States, to enroll her in the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. After rising rapidly through the junior and professional ranks in the years that followed, Sharapova won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2004 at the age of 17. In the two years that followed, Sharapova won eight titles on the WTA Tour and had two brief stints as the World No. 1. However, she lost all five Grand Slam semifinals she played during this period. She ultimately won her second Grand Slam title at the 2006 US Open.

In 2007, a right shoulder injury forced Sharapova to withdraw from numerous tournaments; this was partially responsible for her dropping out of the top five on the WTA world rankings for the first time in three years. Although she won her third Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in early 2008 and returned to the World No. 1 position later in the year, her shoulder needed surgery in October 2008. Sharapova was away from the sport for ten months until May 2009, which caused her ranking to drop out of the top 100. Since returning, Sharapova's ranking has recovered to within the top 15.
