    MARIA SHARAPOVA
    Blonde, statuesque Maria Sharapova is hotly tipped to become a major force in women's tennis. Having made it to the last eight at this year's French Open, the 17-year-old Siberian is already making her mark despite being at the very beginning of her career. "Nothing is out of my reach," says the confident teenager. "Every tournament I come into I want to win and I know I can do that with the way I have been playing this past week.”
