Sharapova takes on Kvitova in Wimbledon final

LONDON, July 2 (Reuters) - Maria Sharapova is bidding to add
a second Wimbledon title to her grand slam collection later on
Saturday and put some glamour back into the women's game when
she takes on Petra Kvitova in the final. 

The fifth seed last claimed the grasscourt prize in 2004
when she was just 17 and went on to win the U.S. and Australian
Opens before a serious shoulder injury threatened her career. 

The fashionable Russian has bounced back in style just as
the women's tour was struggling to capture the imagination of
the public in contrast to a thriving men's game. 

Eighth seed Kvitova, a Czech left hander, will offer a stern
test, though, in her first grand slam final with mostly sun
forecast and the Centre Court's roof set to stay open.
