Maria is featured in the�ITF's official Olympic Book 'Journey to Beijing - Tennis celebrates the Olympics'.�Maria and over�40 of the world's leading tennis players took part in the ITF project to help promote the 2008 Beijing Olympic Tennis Event.

The 140-page publication features a series of specially commissioned photographs of the game's top names dressed as athletes from other summer or winter Olympic sports. Maria�took time out of her schedule�to try rhythmic gymnastics in Los Angeles.

maria can inspire lots of children to get involved in sports through her name-brand recognition at 2008 Beijing. she is recognized around the world as a tennis celebrity. maria is beautiful and kids will say, "i want to be like her" then make that fateful decision to try out for one of the sports they see.

Leihla Tan Jul 06, 2008 at 02:19

It's her spirit why she has so many fans, and many people are believing in her talent, including myself. I know she will do better in the upcoming Olympic Games. Good luck Maria.

Steven Jul 06, 2008 at 20:45

Maria,
What do you not understand about "they need to let him go so he can find a home, somewhere!" Even after I said those things in Doha! Two reasons: 1. They realized that I was willing to change things that I had too. 2. They are still interested in some of the things I am(I will just leave it at that).

P.S.
Hey M.F., looks like they were right with the follow up statement, "well, they have made it perfectly clear that that will never happen." Enjoy the outcome, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steven Jul 06, 2008 at 20:51

Did you actually try to bury me after I gave you a compliment. Fine, let's talk about what is really going on here. Your back with J. until it looks like a Nadal win and your forced to make a decision, so you flip-flop back to the birthday boy.(BTW nox, why don't you have the courage to p--- on someone's leg directly instead of taking a cheap shot halfway around the world)

Iwannago Jul 06, 2008 at 22:41

Maria

Awwww, Maria got a new boyfriend and the world can't hadle it_ You leave Maria alone!!! Jul 07, 2008 at 04:38

What a fabulous mess this is! How many times are you going to call everyone out with absolutely nothing, huh!

Marriage, marriage-yeah maybe a week ago before the two hearses Jul 07, 2008 at 04:42

Hey Maria,
I was driving down the road and I swear to God, no joke, I saw a red frog jumping all over the place. I nearly slammed on the brakes, whipped out my cell phone and called the Smithsonian.

Maybe the Joker will marry you, huh Jul 07, 2008 at 04:45

Red Maria, Red! I swear I have never before or since seen a red frog. This is a new one!!!!!!!!!!!

31 HEARSES AND COUNTING Jul 07, 2008 at 04:48

Thank you, indeed Jul 07, 2008 at 04:57

Hey Maria,

9 Maria, )!! All Natural Jul 07, 2008 at 04:59

Boy, I bet you thought that ovely was some sort of a code, not just human error. Boy, would it have been nice to leave it at that!!!!!!!!!

We told you to leave Maria alone-F--- you, A--hole Jul 07, 2008 at 05:02

GOOD LUCK in the Olympic game and U.S Open! go for the gold!u rawkkk!!

stStevenevenSteveneven Jul 10, 2008 at 20:15

Maria,
Seriously, man, what's wrong with you. You don't believe anything I say, you listen to what other people say(whether it's the truth or not) and some of it has been true. You don't need me, you date everybody else, still win tournaments and make tons of money(all without me), but I'm still in your Club. You don't start anything, you just keep wasting time with actions like this. You don't give respect, even though it's supposedly the only thing you are asking for. You were adorable, now after mornings like this morning your just in my way. why don't YOU just die since you can't grow up

Steven Jul 10, 2008 at 20:25

I haven't gotten in your way at all this summer(I put that on your computer after you lost Wimb.), why don't you get out of mine.

giss Jul 13, 2008 at 07:17

hey

Maria, you are doing great !
Hope you win the Olympic gold medal nad US Open. I will always be your true fan whatever happens to you.
