Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova was born in Russia on April 19, 1987. She has won matches at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. She began her victorious streak at age seventeen.

According to FoxSports, Sharapova injured her right rotator cuff and had been out for most of the 2008 season. I felt that the article was a bit biased. It didn't specifically state that Sharapova wasn't going to make her way back to the top. However, anyone could get the same reaction from the implications that were made. They said that Sharapova will have to work extremely hard to win back her number one title. Also, she may not have the perseverance and dedication like she used to in order to make such a comeback. They said that she isn't normally fast, and with this injury it will be twice as difficult. In my opinion, I think she is a great tennis player and is extremely fast- faster than many of the pro players. I have no doubt that she will have all her focus on redeeming her title and make a stellar comeback.
