Sharapova is ambitious ("When I was working my way to the top of tennis, I didn't say I was number two, I said I wanted to be number one") and also seeks to be a role model ("A great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn't have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible"). As of October 2008, she is coached by her father, Yuri Sharapov, and former player Michael Joyce.
