| MARIA SHARAPOVA 2008 AUSTRALIAN OPEN CHAMPION |
Born in the heart of Siberia in the aftermath of Chernobyl, a beautiful and courageous Russian young maiden left her humble origins and set sail for Florida, America to take her place in the annals of tennis history, never imagining in her wildest dreams that she would set the world alight at the tender age of seventeen in the lush green surroundings of Wimbledon.
Now, as part athlete, part businesswoman, tennis superstar Maria Sharapova, nicknamed "The Siberian Siren", combines the perfect blend of beauty, elegance, sexiness and skill as she seeks to be an inspiration and role model to millions everywhere with the same passion, spirit and determination that makes her a champion both on and off the court.
