Maria Sharapova wins U.S. Open
Maria Sharapova is more than just beauty. She is also a very good tennis player and she showed that by winning the U.S. Open on Saturday night.
Maria Sharapova insists she’s more about substance than style, and now she has a second Grand Slam title to prove it.
Her strokes as piercing as her shrieks by the end, the third-seeded Sharapova beat No. 2 Justine Henin-Hardenne 6-4, 6-4 Saturday night to win the U.S. Open final, the 11th straight year the women’s final has ended in straight sets.
Sharapova burst onto the tennis — and endorsement — scene by winning Wimbledon in 2004 at age 17. She’d come close to adding more major championships since but went 0-5 in Slam semifinals — until this tournament.
