Tennis Beauty and heart throb of the youngsters and tennis lovers lost her final to Kvitova
.The 6ft 2ins Russian, who hadn't lost a set in the previous rounds, struggled to find her form against the determined Kvitova who won in straight sets.
Sharapove started her carreer at a tender age of 17 and won her first title in 2004.
She lost five of eight services and and made six double faults.
Kavitova's victory was a freat result for the bookies as all the money was on Sharapova
In the Royal Box, Martina Navratilova led the applause as Petra Kvitova delivered her first ace of the afternoon on match point to become Wimbledon champion on Saturday.
Like Navratilova, Kvitova was born in the Czech Republic. Like Navratilova, she plays the game left-handed. And at 21, Kvitova is the same age Navratilova was when she first won Wimbledon.
She is only the third-ever left-handed women's champion after Ann Jones (1969) and Navratilova. At 6ft tall, her southpaw serve kept Sharapova unsettled. Her groundstrokes inflicted even more misery, a potential she had trailed when she beat Venus Williams three years ago, while only No 143 in the world.
Until the final, Sharapova had not dropped a set. While her screeching provided a distracting soundtrack, there was barely a sound from Kvitova's side of the net other than the ball being dispatched from her racket strings at a force of knots.
