Sharapova Rates Wimbledon Ahead Of French Open

FORMER world No. 1 Sharapova rates Wimbledon ahead of the French Open even though the Roland Garros title is the only major missing from her collection.

"Of course, I have the ambition to win Roland Garros but it's not the most important thing for me," the 22-year-old Russian told a Bulgarian Website.

"It's Wimbledon that is something special and it's the Wimbledon titles that are the most precious to me. There's no better feeling than winning the Wimbledon. It was my first grand slam and I did it at such a special place."

Sharapova said she was excited that Belgian pair Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters had returned to action.

"I think it's great that Kim and Justine are back," she said. "Women's tennis needs them and we're just lucky that they're among us once again."

"I love to play against the best and I'm really thrilled of the possibility to meet them at the court."
