Former number one player in the world, Maria Sharapova, is anxious to put a disappointing end to the 2010 season behind her. Sharapova dropped in the year-end rankings for a 4th consecutive year and is hoping a packed January schedule will help her in preparing for the 2011 Australian Open.
Already confirmed to enter in the ASB Classic tourney in Auckland, New Zealand. Maria has also asked for a wild card to the Sydney International Tournament which takes place on the following week (January 9 to 15). Her presence there will of course be subject to her progress in Auckland.
The tournament director of the Sydney International, Craig Watson, has said that he will give Maria up until the last minute if needed to fully commit.
Despite winning the Australian Open in 2008, she has a history of struggling with the brutal Melbourne heat. Both her fitness and game have to be in top shape if she wants to make a deep run at this year's Aussie open. Last year she came into the first grand slam of the year with no games under her belt and she paid for it with a 1st round defeat to fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko (See Video Below). This year however, she is not taking any chances and we are sure to see a lot of Sharapova before the AO comes around.
Also in her calendar is her participation in the Russian Davis Cup tie against France which will take place in early February following the Aussie Open.
Sidenote: I loved Kirilenko's enthusiasm in this match. You could tell she really wanted the match.
