Description
This package includes a autographed tennis ball from Maria Sharapova and an autographed picture of Justine Henin.
Maria is a Russian professional tennis player who is a former World No. 1. As of April 7, 2008, she is the fifth-ranked female player in the world. At the end of 2006, she was the world's highest-paid female athlete. Sharapova has won three Grand Slam singles titles. In 2004, she beat Serena Williams to take the Wimbledon title at the age of 17. Two years later, she defeated Justine Henin in the final of the 2006 U.S. Open.
Justine Henin is a Belgian professional tennis player. She is currently ranked World No. 1. Henin has won 41 WTA singles titles and more than U.S.$19 million in prize money. Seven of those titles were Grand Slam singles titles, including four French Open titles (four of the last five and the last three, consecutively), one Australian Open title, and two U.S. Open titles. She also has won the WTA Tour Championships twice and the singles gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Tennis experts cite her mental toughness, the completeness and variety of her game, her footspeed and footwork, and her one-handed backhand (which John McEnroe has described as the best single-handed backhand in the women's or men's game) as the principal reasons for her success.
