It's amazing how well the Russians do... when they learn and live in the USA.

Congrats to Maria, definitely a well-deserved win!

Yes, she's an exceptional player but I must say I hate her shrieks.

Small inconvenience, invictus... you can always turn down the volume... but she does play a decent game of tennis... which isn't something one can't easily find by just turning a knob

Right.

Her last two games, semifinal and final, was really fantastic. I've never seen two 6-0 sets in a semifinal game before. It seems, Sharapova will put her stamp to many grand slam tournaments in this decade.

Before U:S. Open begins, I was expecting a victory from Lindsay Davenport but she made me disappointed.
