Sharapova shows her grit...

Because of her inactivity in recent months, I wasn't too keen on Maria Sharapova's chances of adding a French Open crown to her 2004 Wimbledon and 2006 U.S. Open titles. But after watching her fight off two match points in a gritty match against Patty Snyder Sunday in the fourth round, I think Sharapova is a good bet to make it to the final. The biggest reason? She's got HEART! It was all on display Sunday - a fighting spirit and a very strong desire to absolutely NOT lose. And she didn't, taking the match 3-6, 6-4, 9-7.
