Maria Sharapova may be known as the young tennis starlet to beat Serena Williams at 2004 Wimbledon or the 2006 U`s. Open champion, but this young woman has wit, coy, good looks, and business savvy to go along with it. Sharapova was named the highest-paid female athlete in 2006, and has had sponsorship and been spokesperson for Prince Sports Inc, Honda, Land Rover, Motorola, Gatorade, Tropicana, TAG Heuer, Nike, and Canon, which she largely campaigned the Canon Powershot camera for. Her dry-humored interview comments are nearly as intimidating and as powerful as her on-court swings. She continues her endorsing and hard-tactic playing as a confident individual, who claims, ???I am not the next anyone, I’m the first Maria Sharapova.???
