Maria Sharapova

January 31, 2012: "It's frustrating (to lose in the final), but I have a pretty good head on my shoulders in terms of having a good perspective on sport and life. And as hard as it is, and as much as you want to be the champion, there's only one. That's why the feeling is so special when you do achieve that. That's why the work is so hard and extreme. That's why the pleasure that you get and the excitement is what you work for, because you know how special it is."
—Maria Sharapova, philosophical after being demolished 6-3, 6-0 by Victoria Azarenka in the Australian Open final.
May 18, 2011: "This is just the beginning of many things to come. This is just a great start to everything."
— Three-time major champion, Maria Sharapova, after winning the Italian Open, her biggest title on clay.
January 28, 2008: "If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble because I'm all over that dog, all of the time."
— Maria Sharapova, on her great love for her Pomeranian pooch, Dolce, in The Times (UK).

September 11, 2006: "I experienced it two years ago. I knew I wasn't done. I knew I had more in me. To win your second major is a cherry on the cake. But there are a lot more cherries that I'm going to put on that cake."

- Maria Sharapova, after backing up her first major title, the 2004 Wimbledon when she was 17, with her second at the U.S. Open with a convincing 6-4, 6-4 victory over Justine Henin-Hardenne.
