Maria Sharapova
Serve
Houiver syne her shoulder operation Sharapova haes been unable tae control her serve. This haes led tae numerous faults, as she is unable tae feel how much power she is generating. The new action led tae an elbow injury, but unner Thomas Högstedt it haes improved but can still be erratic. This improvement in serving can be seen in the 2013 Australian Open an follaein tournaments whaur Maria Sharapova committed fewer double faults than in previous years.
Surfaces
Acause she predicates her gemme on power, Sharapova's preferred surfaces early in her career war the fast-playin haurd an gress courts, as evident throu her 25 victories on haurd court an gress court. This is maist notable when she won the 2004 Wimbledon, 2006 U.S. Open an 2008 Australian Open crowns, whaur she haed her career breakthrough an played her peak tennis level, respectively.
Sharapova initially wis nae as well-suited tae the slower clay courts as she is on haurd an gress courts. Sharapova admitted in 2007 that she wis nae as comfortable wi her movement on clay compared wi ither court surfaces an ance describit hersel as lik a "cow on ice" efter a match on clay, due tae her inability tae slide. Later in her career, she showed improvement on this surface wi respect tae experience, as evidenced wi her first WTA reid clay title at the 2010 Internationaux de Strasbourg, 7 years syne playin on the WTA circuit. She won her first French Open title an capturt the career grand slam at the 2012 French Open an as o 2014 leads the WTA tour o active players wi the heichest winnin percentage on clay, wi an 84.25% winnin rate. Syne her shoulder injury, her best surface haes acome clay ower gress & haurd courts, an wi her victory at the 2014 French Open, she haes nou won the French Open twice, which is mair times than she haes won ony ither slam, an her last 3 Grand Slam Finals hae all been at the French Open (3 consecutive finals frae 2012–2014).
Relationships
Sharapova haes dated Maroon 5 sangster Adam Levine. The couple dated for a short time in 2005 efter meetin at Sharapova's 18t birthday pairty. Houiver, the couple broke up suin.

The twa haed been datin syne 2009. On August 31, 2012, Sharapova confirmed that the pair haed ended the engagement an separated during early 2012.

In an interview efter the 2008 Australian Open, she balked at the idea o playin for anither ten years, saying that she hoped tae hae a "nice husband and a few kids" bi then. Houiver in an interview afore her 2012 Australian Open semifinal, Sharapova changed her stance, saying she intendit tae continue playin tennis for as lang as she enjoyed playin the game. Sharapova stated "I'm sure when I was 17 years old and someone said, you'll be playing for another eight years, it would be like, you're not going to see me at a press conference at 25 years old. But years go on. I missed a year in my career—I didn't play that year. I've said this, just before the tournament, a few weeks before, I woke up and I was just so happy to be going back on the court. I felt so fresh, full of energy, just with a really good perspective. Times change, obviously. I see myself playing this sport for many more years because it's something that gives me the most pleasure in my life. I think it helps when you know you're good at something, and you can always improve it. It obviously helps with the encouragement."
