[新聞]Wimbledon's star-power overwhelms icon Sharapova
London - Maria Sharapova can't help but be overwhelmed by
more than a century of tennis tradition when she steps into
the clubhouse of the All England Club. "It's amazing," said
the Russian who won the title three years ago as a
17-year-old to break onto the world stage.
"I get goosebumps every time I drive through Wimbledon
village, (then) I see my name on the (club) board, by the
trophies.
"It's an incredible feeling. But it's a bit surreal because
I feel like it happened so long ago."
Sharapova, who added to her Grand Slam collection with last
year's US Open title, has never been able to duplicate her
2004 success, reaching the semi-finals at the last two
editions.
"When I do see my name, it's a bit of a reality check
because that did really happen. Every year I get my
member's badge.
"It's really special because you don't think about it on a
daily basis, Wow, I'm a Wimbledon champion."
Sharapova will begin her fifth Wimbledon campaign as second
seed facing Yung-Jan Chan of Taiwan in the first round. The
Florida-based Russian, an international style and marketing
icon at age 20, said that no matter how far her young
career eventually goes, her Wimbledon accomplishment will
with her for ever.
"No one can take that away from me. In 20 years, I can just
walk around the members' area and still see my name there.
It will still be on that trophy.
"I was looking through a pamphlet that they gave us, to all
the players, with all the information. There's this one
picture of the trophy.
"There was my name with all the others around it. I was
just staring. I'm going to tear it, frame it, put it on my
black-and-white wall in my house."
