I tru;y hope she stays young and fresh and doesn't let the forces of evil in our entertainment industry seduce her into doing things that are not appropriate for her age. Wasn't Anna already "married" by the time she was 17 to that Russian Hockey player? Anna's path was more celebrity than sport. I hope this girl realizes the path to longevity is the other way around. Sounds like it.
Maria is wise beyond her years............. she'll do the RIGHT thing!
She knows the essence of America and knows the certainty of family and the beauty of this country.
She will play the game well, and she will stand up for a solid life.
She may just be the smartest girl to play tennis since Chris Evert.
I am rooting for her continual decency and charm.
She will stay fresh ........... but, young is more difficult.
All I feel (not to sound like a lib) is that this dear darling girl is for real. Thank you for speaking about Maria.
She is a hope of the sports world........... she stood up for staying in America, etc. She's wonderful!
