Angelo Sirue Says:
Hi Maria. You're the reason why I love watching tennis. I feels so good now
that you're back playing again. Hope you are fully recovered. Maybe you may
not win the tournaments you're playing because still you're not on top
shape. It just fine. Maybe you are still adjusting especially that you've
stopped playing for almost a year. Nice to see you back again and bring out
that killer smash and that gorgeous outfit inside the court. God bless...

Hi Maria. It was a good game at the second round of Wimbledon 09. First
time I really sat down and watched one of your matches since perhaps the
last one against Serena at the final of The Australian Open some years
ago..So it has been a long time. But I see that your father is not the
coach these days..Hope all is good. It would be a good time to have a nice
break and relaxing. Take good care,..

I've been waiting for you playing tennis on courts.
I think the tournament in which you exclude is very meaningless. In fact,
you're the queen among women tennis players.

Maria Sharapova may loose top spot now, I know she'll come back to the top.
I love her. She is the best female tennis player, she might be weak on
clay, she'll win french open soon.
Go Maria....
