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....
