Re: Which Grand Slam do you want to be Maria's first #2?
I would love her to win Wimbledon the most, because I know how much that tournament is special for her and it holds so much tradition, but like all of you said, every new Slam would be amazing, so it doesn't really matter which one will it be. I think her priority right now should be OG  Too bad they're not played on clay

Re: Which Grand Slam do you want to be Maria's first #2?
In order of preference:
01 Wimbledon
02 Australian Open
03 Roland Garros
04 US Open
Wimbledon because it's the most prestigious, RG because I want her to prove she's the post-Henin Claycourt Queen, and the AO because it's my favourite Slam 
Obviously I wouldn't say no to another US Open, but it would be my last preference, with their shitty matches, wind, terrible scheduling and over-commercialisation ruining everything

This!
I have no expectations for the USO these days, though...Would definitely love her to see her win either Wimbledon and/or AO for a few more times

Wimbledon. Although I can see much tougher opposition there but I do think she'll relish this challenge (Namely Kvitty and Sarin) with her confidence level sky-high now.

That should be the fifth option in the poll... everything truly is gravy after this. The only thing I really care about now is an Olympic gold medal. After that, I just want to see her keep winning titles and Slams. I don't care where, I don't care how.

Re: Which Grand Slam do you want to be Maria's first #2?
I think she should win them in the same order she did the first time around....and don't take so long, this time. Get all four again by June 2013.

Don't matter to me, but if I have to pick one it's Wimbledon.

Re: Which Grand Slam do you want to be Maria's first #2?
Sharapova (Golden?) Slam -- 2012 RG-2013 AO (incl. Olympics?). Yes, she has to break her even years pattern!
But seriously, of course I want her to win her next Slsm -- Wimbledon! That way she could keep the No.1 ranking for MUCH longer!! |

Wimbledon She loves this tournament the most.
She even said she would rather have a 2nd Wimbledon title than a first Roland Garros title if she has to choose |

Re: Which Grand Slam do you want to be Maria's first #2?
In my ideal she would win the next 4 GS and it would be the same order that she won her first grand slams - Wimbledon, USO, AO and then RG again.
