I think even Matt Cronin expects Maria to do well at French and Win Wimbledon this year.

Yeah, I think she handled it pretty well last year. But the funny fact is that Sliding is an important part of a players game on clay and she is making fun of it .

Lets see her this year, if it improved a little or not

That article about Maria when she was ten years old, and 4'10" tall is absolutely amazing.

good to read that her groundstrokes were atomic even at 10 years old
A true talent always shines through the field of mediocrity

nice article

lol when bollettieri says "she is not afraid to come to the net"
now it's like "wow she makes a volley"

so it's not a lie when they say she works hard

and for "much more disciplined than kournikova" and "much more down to earth"

I think Maria came to net quite often when she played in 2004.
