Player details
Name Maria Sharapova
DOB 19/04/87
Nationality RUS
Pre-Tournament Odds 2/1
Became Pro 2002
Seeding 3
World Ranking 3
Australian Open champion Sharapova lost out in the fourth round to eventual winner Venus Williams here last year, ending a run which saw her reach at least the last four in three successive years, including her maiden Grand Slam title in 2004. Won her first 18 matches of the year, including seven in Melbourne, but predictably struggled during the clay season and went out in the fourth round at Roland Garros. Enjoys playing on the Wimbledon grass and if her fitness holds she will be a serious contender again.
