Sharapova: Back in the Market for No. 1
Marketing machine Maria Sharapova approaches her 21st birthday wiser, injury free, and with a Slam title under her belt after the Australian Open -- but says her best years lie ahead
The most marketable (and marketed) female athlete on the planet became a viable candidate for the No. 1 ranking again after winning her third Grand Slam title in January at the Australian Open. The marketing dream that is the 20-year-old Maria Sharapova stands at an imposing 6-foot-2 (two inches taller than when she first won Wimbledon) -- and astonishes even more when at celebrity functions where she towers over male athletes in her heels.
Her ever-increasing list of endorsements currently includes Sony Ericsson, Canon, Colgate, Gatorade, Landrover, Nike, Parlux Frangrances, Prince, Samantha Thavasa fashions, Tag Heuer, and Tropicana, topping an estimated $25 million a year in off-court earnings alone.
Sharapova is also an enigma -- at times self-depreciating and in awe of her own drawing power, and at other times ruthless in her quest to draw the dollar. As a 19-year-old she famously said, "It is never enough. I always look for more. Bring on the money."

Average..
so she's 20 huh?
yea..did not expect that..bitch looks 32!
Those shoes SUCK!!!!! Otherwise....she looks good.
Caitie you crack me up...you're like our resident shoe evaluator.
What a woman wears on her feet does say a lot about her.
Nice tan, nice legs.
I like her now, but I think she's going to struggle to keep it together over time. Hope she's using SPF 5,000 while she's still in her early 20s.
Tennis players almost always have nice legs and Maria is 6' 2"....I can only imagine how long they truely are.
Oh, Christ. I was going to say she looks kinda OK for 40.
Yeah, ACE.....I quite fancy shoes. I own about 200+ pairs.
And Maria's legs are impressive.
200+ so you really are the authority on shoes. I sure hope you have strappy high heels in your collection.
thats my bitch!
Quite a few pairs, ACE. Quite a few....
I usually like her....Kind of putting me to sleep here though.
Great legs. I think it is the dress that makes her look much older than she is.
all down hill from here
UGLY. she looks like fucking Eva Amurri or whatever the fuck Susan Sarandon's daughters name is.
I guess tennis stardom can really age you.
And yes, she totally looks like a blonde version of Susan Sarandon's sourfaced kid.
This Amazonian is so boring.
She looks kinda fug here. Would look better swivelling on my cock.
she does NOT look good off the court!
And can someone post pics of Ana Ivanovic...?
She ain't that hot... her dress isn't flattering, and her bangs aren't helping.
she's got the body but not the face... she looks like a pig
