Maria Sharapova took her place among the greats of the game by becoming the tenth woman in history to win a career Grand Slam, and the sixth in the Open era. Russian beauty Sharapova played some attacking tennis to down her challenger, the Italian finalist Sara Errani 6-3, 6-2 to win her first Roland Garros title in the form of French Open Women's championship 2012.
“It’s surreal, the most unique moment of my career," Sharapova said about her victory. "I never would have thought that. I thought winning Wimbledon at 17 would be the most treasured moment of my career. But when I fell on my knees today, I realised that this was even more special. It’s not over yet. I’m not sitting here and saying I’m done because I’m far from it. I have a lot more in me to achieve. I always strive to be better. No matter how many people told me I couldn’t get to this point, I always listened to my own voice telling me I’m meant to succeed again. And I did.”

This was a great victory for Maria Sharapova... I knew she had it in her to make it big again.. but this was a thorough victory... one that vindicated the fact that you can never write Sharapova off even after a career-threatening injury to her shoulders.. Hope to see Sharapova winning a few more grand slams...
