MaSha is definitely back 8:44 AM

For what it's worth, Maria Sharapova introduced me to sports.

A series of injuries somehow made this blog entry almost impossible but as they say it, never underestimate the power of a true champion.

Maria Sharapova strut her way to her first ever French Open Final, defeating previous champions and record holders -  a climb that resulted to reclaiming the top spot in the WTA Rankings. Yes, Maria Sharapova is your current World No. 1.

But the journey didn't end in getting to the finals - the story capped off with a title.

Maria Sharapova defeated Italy's Sara Errani to be the 10th woman in tennis history to complete a career Grand Slam and for those who are not aware. It is a big deal.

Of course, I'd dedicate another blog entry to her. She's like, my sports idol - the one that started my love for sports.

Congratulations, MaSha!

Still A Long Way To Go 4:53 AM

"The best people find strength in misery."

Maria Sharapova was totally outclassed today losing to Victoria Azarenka, 6-3 6-0 in the Final of the 2012 Australian Open. Yeah, 'outclassed' doesn't even begin to describe it.

She lost this ope n coming from another grand slam final loss in the US Open last year. Man, these times are hard. I'm sorry for being so dramatic but man, Sharapova's the reason why I love sports in the first place.

She won her first grand slam back in 2004 beating Serena Williams in Wimbledon. Then, she won a few grand slams, injured her ankle and shoulder and now, she's struggling to find her best tennis legs back. If you track her life, you'll prolly be inspired. It's the whole reason why she's always going to be my favorite.

I'd love to see her back on top but I know it's gonna take time. I am slightly over the depression caused by today's loss and I must say 'Hats off, Maria Sharapova'. Hats off to you for continuing to fight back despite the setbacks.

I, along with your 6 million Facebook fans will be waiting 'til we can call you 'Number One' again. x
