The return of Maria Sharapova
2008 could not have ended worse for the Russian superstar who was sidelined from Wimbledon on to the rest of the season.
Sharapova missed the Olympics after desperately making the Russian Fed Cup team the last two years simply so she could qualify for Beijing only to pull out due to her shoulder injury.
Maria was unable to defend her title in Melbourne and has seen her ranking plummet from number 1 to 17, all in the last year. Maria Sharapova is over 6,000 points behind current number 1, Serena Williams.
But it appears that Sharapova is finally healthy and ready to be back on court, decimating her opponents.

With an already weak field in front of her, save for a select few like Serena and Australian Open finalist, Dinara Safina, Sharapova has to focus on her serve in order to win.
Next up for Maria is simply the hope for a win, but getting there is only half the battle. If she can handle the court as well as she handles her acceptance speeches then the tennis world can breathe a sigh of relief as one of the sport’s biggest stars returns to her rightful stage.
