When Maria Sharapova was very young her first Russian tennis coach noticed that she had "exceptional hand-eye coordination".
Now she is 23-years-old and has 22 world tennis titles.
In 2006 People magazine called her one of the most beautiful people in the world, and this year Forbes magazine named her as the highest paid female athlete in the world - earning $33 million.
Sharapova is coming to New Zealand for the ASB Classic in January, for which the organisers are pretty chuffed.
This will be her first visit to New Zealand. I asked her about how that amazing ability of hers came about.
