Advantage, Madamoiselle Sharapova

Maria Sharapova is just great!

It's so wonderful to see her back on the circuit and firing on all cylinders again. I sure missed her in the Australian open, but seeing her powerful, intimidating game flourish again at Roland Garros just brings a smile to my face.

A lot of people get annoyed with her grunting and groaning, almost painful screams as she powers the ball back at her opponent, every single point. And a lot of people get really annoyed with her tediously slow pre-serve routine, but I personally think that both of those things are a vital part of the Sharapova game which makes her so fantastic to watch!

Of course, there is the looks factor, and yes she gorgeous...but for me it's not all about the short, short dresses, the tight sweaty tops and the down-the-top camera shots they just love to put on the big screen. I just admire the way she goes about her business, both on and off the court, I think she speaks politely and handles herself really well.

The glitz, the guts, the grunts, the glamour, and the triumphant scream of "come on!" after she comes out on top...the package that makes Maria Sharapova the great player that she is. A lot of people really loathe the way she goes about it, but I know one guy who will always be sitting up until the early hours of the morning, just to see her blow her kisses.
