Maria Sharapova Screensaver
"I am Maria Sharapova and not anyone else." You can understand her adamancy. There's the accent, the ponytail, the potential .. the inevitable comparisons to Anna Kournikova. But this Russian stunner has actually won a tourney. Two in fact. "I don't like to lose," Sharapova says. "I don't give up. I'm tough." Tough like her parents who were expecting their first (and only) child when they fled Belarus for Siberia in 1986, to avoid radiation from the Chernobyl disaster. (They would later settle in Florida). Tough enough as a 7-year-old to show up uninvited at Nick Bollettierei's Tennis Academy and wow the instructors with her first stroke. The six-foot Sharapova has pounded her way toward the top of the tennis rankings. "She plays without fear," says her coach Rober Lansdorp. Which makes sense. She's not the one who should be afraid. Maria Sharapova shines on and off the court. Save your screen as Maria runs gracefully across the court, making the winning shot!
