Fed Cup

There has been some issues over Maria joining in to play in the Fed Cup. Other Russian team members criticized Maria's father for his overzealous behavior at matches. Maria has also has some problems preventing her from playing in the Fed Cup due to injuries.

This is unfortunate as the Fed Cup is the top women's tennis team competition. Participation in the Fed Cup is crucial as it is required before you can participate in the Olympics for tennis.

On a more positive note, Maria seems to be a person who gives back to the community. She has more donations to a number of worthy charities. I will not list them individually. But I bet there are a number of people who benefit from her wealth.

Grand Slam Wins

Maria Sharapova is not just another pretty face. She has a significant track record of winning tennis championships. Here are some of the highlights.

She has won multiple Grand Slam victories including the US Open, Wimbledon, and the Australian Open. These were all wins in singles.

There is no doubt in my mind that had Maria not suffered shoulder injuries as of later, she would have continued to achieve victories in the Grand Slams for years to come.

Career as a Model

Maria is not only a tennis champion. Take a look at her awesome figure. Is it any wonder that Sports Illustrated wanted her to do a swimsuit issue? If you also look at Maria's face, you can tell she has the beauty and look to be a fashion model.

Here is the funny thing. Maria makes a good deal of money from winning at tennis. However the big money is elsewhere in endorsements. I have heard that Maria would like to retire young if possible. Given her track record, that is a highly likely scenario.

Some people rank Maria as one of the top bachlorettes in the world. This is partially due to her bank roll. It is also related to how hot she looks. If it is not clear by now, we love you Maria.

Maria, The Early Years

Maria Sharpova has that classic figure which looks great in a bikini. This is part of her allure. Sure she is a celebrated tennis champ. But you tie that with a beautiful face and hot body. The result is a winning combination.

Sharpova moved from Russia to the USA at an early age. Their goal was to obtain advanced training for Maria's tennis game. This was a bold and ambitious maneuver. Neither spoke English when they arrived. Maria's dad borrowed a little bit of money.

Initially Maria was too young to attend their tennis school of choice. However she was eventually accepted on a scholarship. The rest is history. Later I may summarize the tournaments Maria has won. That may take a while, as the list is very long.
