Maria Sharapova has always made noise on and off the court.
At this year's French Open, the Russian star made a splash debuting an Eiffel-Tour inspired dress. Designed by Nike, the outfit features side stitching that mirrors the iron lattice design of the pinnacle Parisian landmark.
Then as the tennis has played out at Roland Garros, the door has seemingly opened for Sharapova to complete her career Slam. For the first time in the Open era, all three top seeds lost before the quarters.
Sharapova hasn't made it easy.
She was on the brink in the second round, down a set and two breaks to 17-year-old wild card Caroline Garcia, before rattling off 11 straight games. The seventh seed also scratched out a fourth-round victory, battling through five set points.
It certainly appears Sharapova is finding her groove after dealing with nagging injuries to her right shoulder and elbow. But one thing that needs no recovery is the Sharapova scream.
It's real, it's loud and it grabbed my attention when I attended the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells in March.
