24-year old Maria Sharapova is on track to win her second Wimbledon Title coming back from the wilderness. Her last title win was in 2004.
Sharapova's lone Wimbledon victory was 7 years ago, in 2004, when as a fresh faced teenager she took the All England Club by storm. The victory was followed by more Grand Slam triumphs at the Australian Open and US Open. By the time she turned 21, she rose to be the World No.1
But in 2007 a shoulder injury proved to be a major set-back in her tennis career which led many to wonder if she could ever be the same player.
But after struggling for 4 years she claims that she has finally come out of the dark phase in her career.
Struggling with her form she was unable to win any major tournaments since 2007 but now finally after a long wait she will get a chance at reclaiming the Wimbledon gold.
The 24 year old Russian faces Petra Kvitova in her first Wimbledon final since winning the singles title in 2004 aged 17.
