The way Sharapova destroyed Safina in blistering 25-40 mph winds today was very impressive. Safina has been playing pretty well leading into Indian wells. she won a tournament a few weeks ago beating some good players. but Maria made her look average today. if Maria can stay healthy. and injury free for awhile. she just might dominate the wta tour like Roger is doing on the atp. this girl is red hot right now. its going to take a really good performance in a player to knock her out of Indian wells.

Indian wells.
I am still surprised from where does she gets the power. She looks very slim and frail. She does not have any muscles either. Its amazing she is continuing to owerpower much bulkier and muscular opponents.
Maria's strength comes from good timing hitting the ball. her speed is underrated. but she really doesn't have to be too quick because of her long arm reach. it also helps that she's a tall girl.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Hantuchova? (Rhetorical question.) Sharapova doesn't look to me (in close- ups) like she's been missing any meals, however willowy an appearance she gives on the court.

Why? Venus is pretty slim too for her height...and of course there's Henin...

The secret to her power is that world-class grunt!

My bones are far from large, most women have larger bones than mine.
Unless you suffer from a severe hormonal disorder, and have allowed it to go untreated, you probably just feel that way. In any case, Sharapova's weight/height ratio *is* a bit low, especially for an athlete, but hardly unheard-of.
