Maria Yuryevna Sharapova Awards and Acheivements :

2004 WTA Tour Championships final: defeated Serena Williams, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. Sharapova became the second player to win the year-end tournament in her debut. Trailing 4-0 in the third set, Sharapova won the next six games after Williams began to struggle with an abdominal muscle strain. Sharapova's tournament run was characterized by controversy. Other Russian players accused Sharapova of receiving coaching during matches. And some criticized her fist-pumping attitude and "Come On!" battlecries in the final as Williams played throughout the second half of the match in pain.
2005 Australian Open semifinal: lost to Serena Williams, 2-6, 7-5, 8-6. Continuing a seeming rivalry, Sharapova served for the match during the second and third set, even holding triple match point in the latter. However, Williams came back to take the match and win the tournament.
2005 Indian Wells semifinal: lost to Davenport 6-0, 6-0. Despite holding a 2-0 head-to-head record, Sharapova, then ranked number three in the world, was dealt her worst defeat. This was the first time that a player in the top three had been double bageled.
2005 Wimbledon semifinal: lost to Venus Williams 7-6(2), 6-1. The match featured long rallies, high-intensity groundstrokes just clipping the lines, and dramatic grunts. Williams ended Sharapova's 22-match grass court winning streak.
2006 French Open first round: defeated Mashona Washington 6-2, 5-7, 7-5. Coming off a 1 1/2 month lay-off because of a foot injury, Sharapova won the match after Washington had three match points at 5-3 in the third set. Sharapova won the last five games of the match.
