My Beloved MaSha

Recently, in relation to the just concluded FRENCH OPEN, i have heard someone say, "talo na naman si Sharapova. Puro ganda lang kasi.", and with that, divine intervention prompted me to defend my idol, my beloved MaSha.

As we all know aside from the gift of playing good tennis, Maria's also given the gift of beauty incomparable to any tennis player - she is six feet tall, bold and beautiful. She's one of the hottest players off court and on court. Her tennis career may have dwindled in the recent years due to injuries but that does not disprove her greatness otherwise. Yes, she may have earned more in endorsements but her prizes in her tennis triumphs are more valuable than that.




To prove my point, here are some feats Maria has accomplished so as to prove that she's not pure GANDA lang.

1. Maria Sharapova is the first Russian to win a Wimbledon singles title and the second-youngest women's champion in history.

2. She is the youngest titlist on the WTA Tour and was awarded the "Newcomer of the Year" prize by the WTA Tour.

3. She has reached the No. 1 Ranking in the world , the first Russian to be no. 1

4. She has won 3 of the four grandslams, the Australian Open 2006, Wimbledon 2004 and the US Open 2008. Only the elusive French Open's left.

FYI, venus williams has not yet grabbed a French and Australian Open trophy, Henin never won wimbledon, Clijsters claimed US Open twice and no more.

5. Won the WTA Championships (2004) on her debut appearance, where only the top players get to participate.

6. 22 singles titles, 3 doubles titles.

with that, i have nothing left to say but this,

MaSha, definitely not the next Kournikova! MaSha hindi lang puro ganda!

P.S. Makita at marinig pa kitang sabihin yan sa office humanda ka, lol. joke lang!
