LONDON (Reuters) - Russian defending champion Maria Sharapova enjoyed a sun-soaked stroll into the Wimbledon quarter-finals Monday.
French pair Amelie Mauresmo and the revitalised Mary Pierce also coasted through to the last eight on a frantic day of action with all 16 fourth-round singles matches being played.
Second seed Sharapova prevented Nathalie Dechy joining her French compatriots with a 6-4 6-2 victory on Court One, her fourth consecutive straight sets win.S

This girl is one of a kind. I pray for her safety, success, and happiness. She could make this world a better place....... as she appreciates the need for a strong family, love, and hard work!
Sharapova to launch perfume

Maria Sharapova is planning to launch her own scent. The 17-year-old Wimbledon champion, who has made no secret of her ambition to design a fashion line one day, will launch her very own scent next year.
"I'm excited because it is so different to what I've done in the past," she told YAHOO.COM. "It's going to be my own design and something I love to smell."
Since her tennis career means she spends very little time in one place, Sharapova admits that this isn't her most hands-on experience, but is convinced that it will turn out just the way she wants it.
"The company that I'm working with, we always keep in touch by e-mail because I travel so much," she goes on. "You tell them the smells you like, if you want it to be sweet, things like that. And then the bottle, the colours, the shape. It's a very interesting process. I haven't had a sniffing test yet, but I will."

I am taller and younger (Male). I teach tennis on the side. I have had some students like her and Martina Hingis came to a clinic I was working.
No one, I repeat no one has ever come close to Maria... I just met a girl named Maria (I wish).
Sigh!!!!
;-)
Or, you know, I could
just consult, give Maria
a freelance sniff test . . .
Damn....she's smoking!
Yes.
She was a great athlete and could speak and socialize without making an a## of herself.
We should have more athletes like her.
I read about the forthcoming Sisel vs. Sharappova match in Thursday or Friday's WSJ of all places. Kid's only 15! I'd have posted a pic, but she's under age :)
"...but tennis was played FOREVER without all this noise..."
Your right, and the women used to wear dresses down past their knees and men used to wear pants. Like everything else, the sport, and the way it's played is changing. Mostly for the better I think but the sex-like squealing on every single shot does get annoying. Hopefully not all the players pick up this habit and we end up with a Yetti horror movie marathon with every Grand Slam tourney!
She has great shoulders.
It never used to be played with an extended grunt that is used today to disrupt opponents. There is a difference IMO.
