Maria Sharapova won the Australian Open final, beating Ana Ivanovic 7-5, 6-3. A lot has been said and written since this victory of Maria's, but what also impressed me about this tennis champion were her comments after the match. Her words can be construed as "reaching out" for Ana, encouraging her to keep up her good play and that a lot more opportunities await them.I believe Maria is a humble and caring person, notwithstanding her fierce and ruthless approach when she is on court and playing to beat her opponent. This feature of Maria's character is beautifully highlighted in the excellent article by Bonny Ford on ESPN.com entitled Hard work, dedication and life perspective aid Sharapova. Hats off to both Maria and Ana.
