A winner--Russia's Maria Sharapova wins Wimbledon, and she shines

[Dan Murphy]

I am not really 'into' tennis at all, but I could not help but marvel at the looks of this young lady, winning the big one, and her youthful 'innocence' showing through so clearly. She does captivate the camera, IMO.

Dan,
From a tennis fan thanks for the lovely pics!

 

[VampHeartless]

I looooooove her!!!

I'm gonna marry her someday!

What's her name again?

 

[disneyjunkie]

Robin, I'm also sad about the outcome.

I hope Venus or Serena wins the US Open.

 

[Gary M]

I bet more men will start watching women's tennis if she is on TV.

I think that was in incredible win & I quite like her too, she is not "in your face" like so many champs are, she is just so grateful to her parents & so thankful to have had the opportunity.

Good on her

“I’m absolutely speechless. I never, never in my life expected this to happen so fast,” Sharapova said. “It’s always been my dream to come here and to win. But it was never in my mind that I would do it this year.”

I am so amazed at how many truly fantastic athletes are only KIDS! They have so many years left in their athletic careers. Think of all they can accomplish. With the Olympics starting soon, I feel older each time I watch..............a good indication that you are getting old is when the athletes look like little kids!

You're so right. I was watching gymnastics a few weeks ago. The girls look elementary school kids. I felt soooo old watching them.
