DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., June 25 (UPI) -- Maria Sharapova takes the world No. 1 ranking and top women's singles seed into the Wimbledon Championships this week.
A win at the French Open allowed Sharapova to regain the No. 1 ranking. She piled up ranking points with a 36-5 record -- 19-1 in her last four tournaments -- in 2012, with two other tournament titles and three runner-up finishes.
