Maria Sharapova wins Wimbledon!!!
TENNIS pin-up Maria Sharapova has forewarned her future husband ... she's going to love him to bits.
The 20-year-old Russian-born beauty, who recently won the Australian Open and has picked up more than $1.2 million in prizemoney already this year, is single but says the man of her dreams had better beware."If I ever love a man as much as my dog, the guy will have a real problem, because I am all over that dog,'' she said in an interview in the German edition of Vanity Fair.
"I have already had crushes during my career but I don't believe it was true love.
"Perhaps in five years I will be able to say for sure. I think the trick is not to go looking for love.''
While any future husband may have to fight for her affections with her pet dog, Dolce, Sharapova is certainly the darling of the tennis world after winning all the Grand Slam titles except Roland Garros.
Her father, Yuri Sharapov, took her to America when she was seven so she could follow her dream to be a tennis player.
But after winning her first Grand Slam title - Wimbledon in 2004 - at 17, she has far exceeded expectation.
"What I have achieved has far outweighed my family's expectation,'' she said.
"I would like to have children and I would like to do other things which make me happy.
"But if I had my time over, I would do it all again.''
