LONDON, England - It's been 10 years since Maria Sharapova broke through and won her first Grand Slam title as a 17-year-old at Wimbledon in 2004 - the former World No.1 was asked about her memories from a decade ago in her pre-tournament press conference at the All-England Club.
"Once I think about it, the memory is quite fresh in my mind," she said. "I don't think about that victory very often, just sometimes when I need a little pick-me-up or when I look back at my achievements.
"When I do think about it, it seems like it almost happened yesterday," Sharapova added. "It's been 10 years and I'm here, still competing at a high level, and I still have the motivation. I certainly had that drive when I was 17 years old, and I'm proud that I still have that going into this age group."
