Is an absalute doll.

Kournakova doesnt have shit on Maria. She's far prettier than Anna, and she can actually play tennis!!
She won Wimbledon last year, and is in the quarter final of the Australian open right now. Im no big tennis fan, but when Maria is playing I turn into one. :D

I'm a huge tennis fan and I don't know how much better looking that Anna she is...but she does ACTUALLY win sometimes. That's a big plus in my book.

Legs 4 dayz.
just wondering you love Kournikova for her tennis skills or for that she's Kournikova????

i'm not the biggest tennis fan, but i thought it was really sweet when Sharapova won wimbeldon '04 and she was trying to phone her mum (live on air infront of all the viewers) but it wouldnt connect and she was getting all frustrated. altogether now "awwwww..." lol:p

Tennis Skills?? kournikova? :p

I liked Anna cos shes a hottie, her tennis skills werent that great though.

Maria on the other hand , has it all.

Is she the woman who grunts everytime she hits the ball?

She's a grunter alright. :D

In the paper the other day, the audience told her to shut up, because she was grunting too much.

Well i hope they got thrown out of the building, thats friggin rude.
She has every right to grunt if she wants. She probly cant even help that she does , its because she plays so hard.



And I find it rather cute too. :p

Wow. Look at those legs. :)

Nice legs.

mm foreign tennis chicks

mmm gotta love Maria Sharapova. Her vs. Serena Williams next. Go Maria!

I saw Serana play some French girl this afternoon. That girl has a HUGE ass! You would think, running around after a ball all day, her butt would be as toned as her upper arms, but it seems not. I was distracted by Serena's rear end...

Can't believe Alicia Molik beat Venus though! :D

Sharapova is from Russia isn't she? Most of those Russian girls are hot, they must be putting something in the water over there. Something that I need to get my hands on. ;) Anyway, I saw Sharapova play last Wednesday when I was at the tennis but I can't actually remember who she played now, but she was good.

Oh yeah, and the grunting thing: when I saw her play, the crowd was kinda laughing about it and I thought that was kinda rude cos it could be really distracting for her and I wanted them to shut the hell up. I say if she wants to grunt, let her grunt. It seems to be working for her.

you are lucky bastard. I can't even watch it on the telly. It's midnight here when they start playing and I don't have digital tv so last night I had to follow it by cliking teletext button. So slow, so annoying... Still was quite exciting....

Go Masha!!!!!

PS: as for grunting thing I think it might be quite sexy

mmmm everybody loves russian girls-))))))))

I'd hit it.
She's really ...........nice indeed :p and can play tennis.......unlike her compatriot :D

I never knew what most men saw in Anna Kournikova. She looked too much like a porn star.

Mario Sharapova on the other hand is absolutely beautiful... and she's actually very good at tennis too.

Anna-who?

I'd hit it.
Quoted for truth. :D

oooh, that's cruel :p

So Maria played her first match today at Wimbledon and dominated her opponent! :)
She is the defending Wimbledon champion, and is a heavy favorite to win it this year.

Of course she is the favorite to win, she is the best!
I like her, she plays very well, but people say she is full of herself...

She's a grunter alright. :DI bet you like that, Mike. :p

I bet you like that, Mike. :p
oh hell yes.:D

When she's playin', I have the volume on 'max' ;)

THAT was one of the cutest things I ever saw!! I love her!!

I missed her first Wimbledon game this year though, damn. But I'll be watching that one with one of the Williams sisters. Go Maria!!!!!!!

I bet every guy on the planet loves that pic of her with the banana........!!!!!! ;)

Saw Maria in some camera commercial recently. They have this closeup of her legs when she takes out the camera to shoot something. Girl's definitely got some nice wheels under her chassis.

i didn't see her match today(impatiently waiting for Andy) but i was surprised by how bad she beat her opponent.

Why were you surprised? She is the defending Wimbledon champion. :-/

Why were you surprised? She is the defending Wimbledon champion. :-/

just because ive seen the other girl play before and i expected a closer match.

So I finally got to watch one of Maria's matches yesterday morning. They start flippin' early here in the US.:mad: I always miss them durring the week. They be on at funky ass times.:p


Hooooly shite! Maria is teh sex. She had a very nice grunt session in the match I watched.:)

the only real time tennis is on is during a grand slam. with the exception of the U.S. Open, i have to wake up early or tape everything to watch it.darn

I watched her match today, at first I was sitting there thinking "come on Maria, you've got a great cross-court backhand volley, use it for gods sake!!!" and was convinced that she was going to lose it judging by the first few games, but thank goodness she picked up and won it in the end!

amy

Yep she's a good girl!!!;)

Maria and Venus in the Semi's tomorrow! It should be an exellent match.

Of course I wont be able to watch it.:rolleyes:

I'm hoping she wins so I can watch her in the finals this weekend. A Davenport/Sharapova final would be awesome.

That'll be a tough match for her, Venus is so accomplished. I remember watching her years ago in Wimbledon and I was just amazed. Esp by the way she can cover the whole court in any direction in like 3 strides.

Of course I'll be rooting for Maria. I find her concentration and focus one of the best things about her game when she gets into it. Turning her back on the court to focus is a good idea...

amy

Shapanovas constant grunting gets up my wick :p

Shapanovas constant grunting gets up my wick :p
I'm sure only a British person would know what that means, eeww ahahhahahaha!!!! *cough* :p

amy

my opinion on her is that she is a beautiful woman like one of the best tennis players of the world :D

I'm sure only a British person would know what that means, eeww ahahhahahaha!!!! *cough* :p

amy
I'm not British, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know what that means.:)


And i would have to agree with it.:D

Maria lost to Venus in the semi's.:(

I at least got to listen to it at work online though. From what I heard, Venus was playing like the Venus of a couple years ago. To much for our golden girl I guess.



stupid saturn. pfft.

looks like it might be a davenport/venus final. they suspended play on the davenport game, but she was up 5-3.

I watched that, I was pretty annoyed! Venus played the best tennis I've seen her play in a few years now. The first set was a real scrap for the win, 7-6, with long drawn out rallies with awesome shots from both sides. It was amazing! Maria hit some absolutely fanstastic shots as you'd expect, causing the whole Court to explode in cheers...

But then Maria kind of lost it and that was disappointing, but she never gave up, not even when it was clear from the last few games where the game was headed, she made a lot of unforced errors which was a shame.

Well, I'll still support her in her other matches later this year, I still think she rocks ;) she never lost her cool, and that's the most amazing thing about her, in my opinion :)

I was getting annoyed too. I was really hoping she would make it to the final on Saturday, it would of been awesome for her, and I would of actually been able to watch.*curses this timezone*

I could tell by listening to it on the radio that she was playing well, and not giving up. I could hear her grunting too.:p I had to turn my computer down at work, people might of thought something else was going on. heh.



When's the next Open?

I watched the game yesterday. (I had no idea what was going on pointwise, because I don't follow tennis much. :p) and I was hoping Maria would win. (Ok, so my rooting for her was pretty much one of those "ummm...yeah, I like her because her shoes are cool. I'm going for her" type of things. :D) It actually looked like she'd win in the first set though. Venus was better for a bit, but then all of a sudden Maria just stepped up and outplayed Venus for awhile. It's a shame she had to lose it again. If she'd kept playing like she was halfway through the first set, she would have won, IMO.

I also read an article where they were discussing all the grunts that many players make. I guess the tennis league wants to ban the grunts, because oftentimes the player will do it to get on their oponents nerves, psych them out a bit, and hopefully score. I don't know about you guys, but Maria's grunting seemed to get on MY nerves more than Venus' yesterday. :p

I I don't know about you guys, but Maria's grunting seemed to get on MY nerves more than Venus' yesterday. :p
her grunts get me all hot and bothered.:)

Damn Venus Williams :mad: I haven't seen any of her matches from Wimbledon as ive been at work but i wanted her to win

her grunts get me all hot and bothered.:)
Well, there's gender and age difference between us. :p

I don't know much about tennis, but my favorite girl tennis player is Mauresmo. She is a good tennis player, and she is just cool. There is something about Sharapova that I don't like, sorry ^^

She makes female tennis worth watching, particularly since she tends to last longer than what Anna K did, although I still think Anna is sexier than Maria, but a close second.

Shame she lost to the man that is Venus Williams, was looking forward to the womens final tomorrow, not be watching now :(

She did wear really long, dangly earrings in the last match. That bugged me because, I mean, she was playing tennis. Lol, don't you think those would get annoying after awhile? I'd be terrified I'd get hit by the ball, and it'd rip my earlobe or something. :p

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/michaelch/watching-sharapova.jpg

Can you blame em'?

she was at the ESPYs the other night. i believe she won best female tennis player. everyone thinks her and Andy Roddick are a couple.

everyone thinks her and Andy Roddick are a couple.
Hmm, I havn't heard that rumor yet...

Did anyone see her at the Espy's??

O_O

Schmokin'

Hmm, I havn't heard that rumor yet...
Me either, hmmm:rolleyes: And nope, I haven't seen her at the Espy:( Damn, I've missed a lot in tennis in past few months.

Ahh, boo, Andy Roddick? Ah well, at least he's better looking than Andy Murray!! :p

Dangly earrings didn't bother me at all. Her lookout after all, and I don't think they'll catch on a ball, since the balls are round and all...

amy

Hmm, I havn't heard that rumor yet...

its funny, they think Maria's dating any guy she is seen pictured with.:rolleyes:

Maria kicked ass in her first match @ the U.S. Open...I would of liked to see a little more grunting though. :p

YAY! Maria has won a ticket to the semifinal in a tough match with Nadia Petrova! I thought she won't make it actually! :eek:
She'll meet Kim Clijsters there, which is not very good tho - she's lost all 3 games she played with her:(
Ahhh, can't wait friday!! *crosses fingers*

haha, ive just read in a magazin that maria is worried about her size :D she said that she could not wear high heels anymore because she is too tall :D

super. weak. dude.

Apparently Maria aint foolin Kim. :(

Maria won her first match of the Aussie Open yesterday, 6-2, 6-1.

=]

she's playing Daniela Hantuchova in the next round(round of 16 i think) should be interesting...

Pretty good match between Sharapova and Hantuchova, glad that she won. :p

I'm watching her play Hantuchova right now. Is it just me, or do they look like sisters??

I always liked when Sharapova and Hantuchova, my two favourites, played with each other.

...

In case you’re tired of that kind of things (baby dolls normally suck at Life), there’s also a so amazing Russian evboarder named Scratchy. :rolleyes:

No Scratchy is MINE.

maria is playing hennin hardenne(sp) today in the semi's. Maria is 1-2 against her, but her one win was on hard court.
Go Maria!!!

oh and im bummed hingis got eliminated, although it's cool she made it as far as she did.

The Williams sisters are in decline, Hingis has made a comeback. Tennis just got sexier. :D

Hingis reminds me a little of Natalie Portman. >.>

No Scratchy is MINE.
Only if you put something in my drink and kidnap when I fall asleep!!!

*hearts* Jerry

both semis are coming up tonight and i can't wait. i hope sharapova and clijsters make it to the finals.

Only if you put something in my drink and kidnap when I fall asleep!!!

*hearts* Jerry
*starts laughing* yeah, only if you do that lol!!!!!!

Sharapova just won the first set! \m/ She's playing very well!

4-6 6-1 6-4 Hardenne

crap. I thought Maria was gonna rally back in that 3rd set. Hennin Hardenne was playing very well. She deserved to move on.

OMFG, ShapeShifter, your avatar scares me to death. Every time I see it I start worring 'cause I think something is going wrong with my computer. It's silly I know :p

I feel very upset that Maria is out :(

http://i.a.cnn.net/si/features/2006_swimsuit/images/gallery/photos/06_msharapova_21.jpg

Maria in SI swimsuit issue is a GOOD thing.


http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/2006_swimsuit/athletes/

DAAAAaayam!:D

Wow. Thank you. I didn't know she was in this year's issue, but had to pick one up. She has the honor of being the only professional athlete in this year's magazine, and there's a crapload of pictures of her. I think when Anna was featured in SI, there were only like 4 photos of her.
*starts digging through old piles of MAXIM, FHM, and SI mags*

Maria Sharapova is my desktop wallpaper. I love to see very young athletes kick ass in the sports world... I just love it!

*kicks Andy Roddick*

I don't like her...belly button...

Maria has advanced to the 3rd round of the French Open!

http://www.mariaworld.net/rolandgarros0664.jpg

Next match is Friday.

Maria Sharapova more or less self-destructed after cruising in the match credit to Safina though she did well.

maria has cruised through her first 2 rounds in the US open. Elena Likhovtseva is her next opponent.

GO MARIA!

I don't like her...belly button...

Me neither. And I don't like her face, or obviously bleach blonde hair, either.
Oh, and that bikini = FTW.

At least her boobs are real though.

:rolleyes:

At least she can play tennis. People compare her to Kounikova, which is an insult to Sharapova. I have much respect for Sharapova.

yea, she can definitley play. im glad i actually get to watch her in the US Open. with the aussie/wimbledon ect opens, they're on at like 6 in the morning in the states. >.>
YAY for american timezones!!!

well if the rain ever lets up, she'll have a match in a little bit, as will Roddick. Agassi will play later if the weather stays clear. still very windy, though.


edit: she's through to the 4th round :)

sharapova is playing #1 ranked mauresmo in the semi's right now. she won the first set 6-0!

geeaa!!

Im glad she won. I hope she beats hennin hardenne as Im not really a fan of her, and Sharapova. Its nice to see a womens player that is known for being pretty but is actually really good.

maria won the first set of the finals 6-4.

Maria WINS!
