Maria Sharapova: Some Of The Most Interesting Facts About This Tennis Star

Maria Sharapova, born on 19th April 1987, turns 30 today and for everyone out there, she is a self-made woman who reached where she is through her dedication and commitment. She started from her love for the tennis ball to even reach the number 1 spot in the world, twice. Born in Siberia, Russia, her dreams of becoming a big star in the world of Tennis was turned into reality by her parent’s consideration to her talent and their own hard work. Sharapova and her father immigrated to the US in Florida when she was just 9 years old, after earning a scholarship to train at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy.
