i like MAria Sharapova. i'm amazed of her. i started to like her just few years back. she's under my age and wow.. she's a star. she tours around the world to expose her talent in lawn tennis. she's great.
in newspaper i dont normally read the sports part of it but when she's on it. i give time to go through it. ;)
