Maria Sharapova won the French Open Saturday. This makes her only the 10th woman in history to win all four major tournaments: Wimbledon in 2004, the U.S. Open in 2006 and the Australian Open in 2008. Sharapova defeated Sara Errani 6-3, 6-2 in the final at Roland Garros. Errani was really out matched by Sharapova but fought her way through and made the match interesting.
What great about this win for Sharapova is that it was purely about her love for tennis. She already has a hot husband, money, fame, and established record. She kept playing for this because she really love tennis. I think after covering so much basketball it is great to see someone purely motivated by love of the game and not money.
