It has been more than two weeks since the day, when Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon. However, the sensational triumph of the 17-year-old girl still makes headline news in the world.

Maria Sharapova has recently graced the cover of the American weekly magazine Sports Illustrated. The glamorous cover proudly says: "Star Power: Maria Sharapova Takes Wimbledon at 17."

Maria's looks of a top model made her become sex symbol number one in the tennis world. Needless to mention, numerous newspapers and magazines are eager to grace their front pages and covers with an erotic photograph of the new Russian tennis star.

Maria Sharapova, already second youngest Wimbledon finalist in the Open era behind Swiss Martina Hingis, out hit Williams 6-1 and 6-4 to become the second Russian woman to win a Grand Slams title. She is Russia's first Wimbledon winner and Russia's first Wimbledon finalist in 30 years. This is definitely not something that happens every day.
