Maria Sharapova returns to the tournament that set her on the path to Wimbledon glory last year when she starts the defence of her Edgbaston title this week.
After some retail therapy in Paris following her quarter-final defeat by Justine Henin-Hardenne at the French Open, the 18-year-old Russian is eager to start her grasscourt campaign.
"What happened to me last year was amazing. I was playing really great tennis here and then went off to win Wimbledon. It brings back good memories. I can't believe it's been a whole year already," Sharapova told a news conference.
