Maria Sharapova wants to bounce back and win Wimbledon again

Maria Sharapova is determined to put her injury nightmares behind her and show she has got enough quality to win her second Wimbledon title.




Sharapova, 22, took the world by storm when she won her first Grand Slam at just 17 in 2004 when she beat Serena Williams in the final at Wimbledon. But the Russian superstar has failed to build on her early success and many critics feel her eye has been taken off the sport by her interests away from tennis which include a number of modelling assignments. Sharapova was reported to be the world's highest paid female athlete and is still earning $23m a year.
