Maria Sharapova regaining her lost form
Six years ago from today, a seventeen years old skinny girl, Maria Sharapova grabbed the attention of the world by triumphing in the grass court Grand Slam championship after knocking down the top seeded American, Serena Williams. That splendid showcase of tennis was a shocker for many and after that, it came out to be an igniting year for the Russian tennis ace, Maria Sharapova and many greeted her as a top challenger to test Williams’s supremacy. However, tragically, things didn’t turn out to be the same, later.
After her trophy gaining knock at seventeen years of age, Maria Sharapova did manage to rock and as a result earned a total of two more majors prior to her reversal that shocked many who considered her the next major challenger in the women’s side.
Maria’s early tide implanted a fresh life in declining Russian on-court supremacy, however the capable Russian missed her way and concentrate in the middle of enormous endorsement proposals and persistent publicity and it appeared as if the girl’s stars were overshadowed for good.
Yet again, Maria Sharapova seems prepared to bring back those splendour days and we being her admirers would like to experience that as soon as possible.
Steadiness, determination and resilience, all take the back spot when a player’s growth gets affected as a result of injuries.
A three times major winner, Maria Sharapova has appeared as a riddle for many over the past.
When questioned about her prospects in the shortly ended grass court Grand Slam championship, Martina Navratilova commented, "She is an absolute delight to watch. She is definitely a top class player with excellent sporting qualities from the women’s side”.
Well, that speaks high of the disaster of the former world number one tennis player Maria Sharapova who has been facing a hard time due to her injuries over the recent past.
Her long resting period of nine months from the game of tennis resulted in falling out of the 120 back in 2009. Maria regained some of her rhythm by gaining the trophy in Memphis, however comfortably hushed at the Australian Open championship by departing in the very first round of the tournament.
Her trustworthy arm, which was once apprehended by many, baffled her during those crackle times of need and yet again, Maria took off for a period of two months as a result of her elbow injury.
The Russian tennis ace, who used to shock her competitors with the help of her heavy serves, lost that charm somewhere as a result of back to back injuries.
However, the tennis admirers gravely missed that destruction as well as status of Maria Sharapova, which created a new hype in the professional game of tennis with Sharapova’s entry.
It was the Russian who knocked down Serena Williams back in 2004 at the grass court Grand Slam tournament and also signed the largest endorsement offer as a women sportsman with a radical shoe firm. Anyhow, 2010 brought new prospects on the skyline for Maria, however her early departure first at the Australian Open then at the French Open Grand Slam tournaments pushed many to think that they might not experience the glorious era of the Russian tennis sensation ever again.
Meanwhile, Maria did comparatively well in Memphis as well as Strasbourg and also performed well on the grass courts in England till the last set of the tournament clash, where she was knocked down by the Chinese tennis ace, Na Li.
Anyhow, the good news is that the Russian Tennis ace, Maria Sharapova is looking fit and healthy at the moment and can serve as fast as 120 mph which is something the girl needs to do badly to get her game back. Maria Sharapova resembles Rafael Nadal as far as her injuries are concerned as both of them are injury prone players in the world of tennis.
Now, the Russian girl is back in the top twenty players ATP list which reflects that her suffering struggle with fitness is over.
Therefore, we can hope that the Russian tennis diva, Maria Sharapova will return on the hard court season with the same charm to recapture every one attention.
