Maria Sharapova -- The ultimate tennis diva



































































Maria Sharapova has achieved what her Russian counterpart Anna Kournikova failed to do -- combine looks with stellar play on the tennis court. Sharapova has single-handedly revolutionised the attire that female tennis players wear on the courts in recent times. However, Sharapova had a tough latter half in 2008 when a shoulder injury forced her to miss the Beijing Olympic Games and the US Open. The injury also saw her ranking to drop to No 9 at the end of the year.

But, in news that is bound to enthuse her supporters, Sharapova's agent Max Eisenbud said recently that the Russian diva is "on track" to return to action at the January 7-10 exhibition in Hong Kong that she usually enters. As Sharapova prepares to return to action, we take a look at the Russian diva's on-court and off-court highlights.
