Explanation
THERE is something disarming about Maria Sharapova, something at odds with her ready smile and glamorous attire. And that something in her lifted her on Monday, 22 August 2005 to the world number one position in women’s tennis. All this happened in almost no time. Poised beyond her years, the Siberian born teenager took just four years as a professional to reach the pinnacle.
Disarming: likeable
At odds with: in conflict with
Poised: calm, elegant
Pinnacle: the most successful point
There is some quality in contrast to Maria Sharapova’s smile and glamour, which makes her likeable. It is this quality that helped her achieve success as she attained world number one position in women’s tennis on Monday, 22 August 2005. Maria’s calmness and elegance is beyond her age. She was born in Siberia, Russia and as a teenager, she took only four years of training to become the top seeded woman tennis player.
However, the rapid ascent in a fiercely competitive world began nine years before with a level of sacrifice few children would be prepared to endure. Little Maria had not yet celebrated her tenth birthday when she was packed off to train in the United States. That trip to Florida with her father Yuri launched her on the path to success and stardom. But it also required a heart-wrenching two-year separation from her mother Yelena. The latter was compelled to stay back in Siberia because of visa restrictions. The nine-year-old girl had already learnt an important lesson in life — that tennis excellence would only come at a price.
Rapid: fast
Ascent: growth
Endure: suffer patiently
Heart - wrenching: extremely sad
