Maria Yuryevna Sharapova Tennis Career :

Defending her Wimbledon title in 2005, Maria Sharapova at Indian Wells in 2005 reached the semifinals without losing a set but then lost to a rejuvenated Venus Williams (7-6, 6-1). Sharapova's streak on grass was ended, as was her quest to dethrone top ranked Davenport. Sharapova had fewer points to defend and therefore rose to the No. 1 ranking on August 22, 2005. Her reign, however, lasted only one week as Davenport re-ascended to the top ranking after winning the title in New Haven. Sharapova rose to the No. 1 ranking again on September 12, 2005, despite losing in the semifinals of the U.S. Open. Sharapova kept the No. 1 ranking for six weeks before relinquishing it again to Davenport following the 2005 Zurich Open.

Sharapova entered the 2006 U.S. Open seeded third after Clijsters dropped out of the tournament with a wrist injury. Considered one of the favorites to reach the final, she lived up to expectations defeating Mauresmo, the top ranked player in the world, in a semifinal 6-0, 4-6, 6-0. Sharapova then prevailed over Henin Hardenne in the final 6-4, 6-4 to win her second Grand Slam title, 13th tournament of her career, and third tournament of the year.
