A Russian girl, Maria Sharapova, reached the summit woman's tennis when she was barely eighteen.

ᴥ A SHORT STORY OF MARIA SHARAPOVA ☞

1. 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.
2. 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-years separation from her mother Yelena. The latter was compelled to stay back in Siberia because of Visa restriction. The nine-year-old girl had already learnt an important lesson in life — that tennis excellence would only come at a price.
3. "I used to be so lonely", Maria Sharapova recalls. " I missed my mother terribly. My father was working as much he could to keep my tennis-training going. So, he couldn't see me either."
4. "Because I was so young, I used to go to bed at 8 p.m. The other tennis pupils would come in at 11 p.m. and wake up me and order me to tidy up the room and clean it."
5. "Instead of letting that depress me. I became more quietly determined and mentally tough. I learnt now to take care of myself. I never thought of quitting because I knew what I wanted. When you come from nothing and you have nothing, then makes you very hungry and determined ... I would have put up with much more humiliation and insults than that to steadfastly pursue my dream."
6. That toughness runs through Maria even today. It was key to her bagging the woman's singles crown at Wimbledon in 2004 and to her meteoric rise to the world number one spot the following year.
7. While her journey from the frozen plains of Siberia to the summit of woman's tennis has touched the hearts of tennis fans, for the youngster herself there appears to be no room for sentiment. The straight looks and the answers she gives when asked about her ambition makes it amply clear that she considers the sacrifices were worth it. " I am very, very competitive. I work hard at what I do. It's my job." This is her mantra for success.
8. Thought Matia Sharapova speaks with a pronounced American accent, she proudly parades her Russian nationality. It's true the U.S. is a big part of my life. But I have Russian citizenship. My blood is totally Russian I will play the Olympics for Russia if they want me."
9. Like any number of teenaged sensation, Maria Sharapova lists fashion, singing and dancing as her hobbies. Her fondness for sophisticated evening gowns appears at odds with her love of pancakes with chocolate spread and fizzy orange drinks.
