Sharapova Gains Career Grand Slam

Maria Sharapova won her first championship in 2004, when she was only seventeen.

Saturday, she won her fourth, and earned a career grand slam.

To gain a career grand slam, a tennis player must win all four of the major tournaments.

Wimbledon and the French, Australian, and US Opens are the four Majors.

For Sharapova, it was thought an impossible feat after under going shoulder surgery four years ago.

But in this French Open she shined, with her first six matches lasting to a combined total of only eight and a half hours.

Sharapova now holds the rank of number one, and as she's playing the best she ever has, it could prove very difficult to take that from her.
