Making her first return appearance to the grand stage after winning the event seven years prior, things didn't go as hoped for Maria Sharapova at the 2011 Wimbledon Women's Final on Sunday (July 2).
The well-known Russian beauty was upstaged by her lesser known Czech Republic counterpart, Petra Kvitova, who ended up victorious during the match at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Miss Kvitova outplayed Miss Sharapova from the onset, as she battled through each and every challenge put forth by Miss Sharapova en route to a straight set 6-3, 6-4 win.
With the lack of big match experience not causing an issue, Petra's win came before a full crowd including tennis greats such as Billie Jean King, Lindsay Davenport, Amelie Mauresmo and Martina Navratilova, with politician Condoleeza Rice and actress Anne Hathaway also among those watching on from the stands.
