| VERDICT |
 |
| This blonde bombshell burst on to the scene during the 2003 grasscourt season, a period which saw the teenager reach the last 16 at Wimbledon. Justified all her media hype towards the end of the year too when she captured her first two WTA titles. Sharapova has gone well again so far this term and won the recent DFS Classic on grass. If she can handle all the attention - and control the nerves which were apparent in her French Open quarter-final - Sharapova has the game to make a big impact. |
