Biography
Tennis star Maria Sharapova has a lot going for her. At only 18 years of age she has become the world's highest paid female athlete. Born in Nyagan, Russia, (in the Siberian region) on April 19, 1987, she began playing tennis at a very young age. Maria Sharapova's game is not as well-fit to clay as it is to fresh surfaces. This is predominantly because she confidence in her gift to move on clay, largely because she appears uncomfortable sliding, and she herself once described as like a "cow on ice" on clay. Her limitations on the inner are reflected in her career results, as she did not win a WTA tour title on clay until April 2008 (despite having won 18 titles on new ) and because the French Open is the only Grand Slam singles title she has not yet won.
