Recently, Sina website published photos of “Doll” Maria Sharapova when she was only 15 years old. Although everyone knows how beautiful the Russian athlete is, many fans still cannot believe her pure, pearly appearance since she was a teenager.

In 2003, Sharapova won her first major title with the Japan Open championship. That same year, she was named “Emerging Tennis Player of the Year”.
