Published by MoonDog on April 20, 2009
Maria Sharapova, a former No.1 women’s tennis player, fashion model and one of the planet’s sexiest creatures celebrated her 22nd birthday on April 19.
Sharapova was born in Russia but maintains a dual citizenship in the United States. Sharapova has won three Grand Slam singles titles, her first in 2004 at the age of 17 when she won Wimbledon.
She has since won the 2006 U.S. Open and the 2008 Australian Open.
Sharapova has been featured in dozens of magazines, including her most popular layout in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. She was the most searched-for athlete on Yahoo! in both 2005 and 2008 and is the world’s highest-paid female athlete.
The combination of Sharapova’s tennis success and physical beauty have enabled her to secure commercial endorsements that greatly exceed her tournament winnings. In April 2005, People named her one of the 50 most beautiful celebrities in the world.
In 2006, Maxim ranked Sharapova the hottest athlete in the world for the fourth consecutive year. She posed in a six-page bikini photoshoot spread in the 2006 Valentine’s Day issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, alongside 25 scantily-clad supermodels.
In June 2007, Forbes magazine listed her as the highest-paid female athlete in the world, with annual earnings of over $23 million.
Regardless of her tennis success, Sharapova is clearly one very fine specimen of womanhood. Her natural beauty is truly something to behold and all of the images in the gallery below bear that out.
Enjoy the gallery and here’s hoping Maria Sharapova had a very happy birthday.
