Congratulations, Maria Sharapova! The 17-year old triumphed at Wimbledon this morning, confounding my expectations by upsetting Serena Williams. At a score of 6-1, 6-4, it wasn't even close. Afterwards, she proved to have a highly engaging personality, delivering a heartfelt and humorous interview to the BBC reporter. She even tried calling her mom on her cell phone in the middle of Centre Court but complained that she couldn't get a good signal.
