Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova plays a game with local school children against a back drop of London's Tower Bridge, 21 June 2007, as she promotes Sochi's 2014 bid to become the first Russian resort to host the Olympic and Paralympic games. Sharapova believes her grasscourt game is shaping up well a week ahead of Wimbledon, which begins 25 June 2007, despite her defeat in the Birmingham final at the hands of Serbia's Jelena Jankovic.
